Travel Planning Ability in Right Brain-Damaged Patients: Two Case Reports

Planning ability is fundamental for goal-directed spatial navigation. Preliminary findings
from patients and healthy individuals suggest that travel planning (TP)—namely,
navigational planning—can be considered a distinct process from visuospatial planning
(VP) ability. To shed light on this distinction, two right brain-damaged patients without
hemineglect were compared with a control group on two tasks aimed at testing VP
