Planning
Planning is a key executive function involving the formulation, evaluation, and selection of a sequence of thoughts and actions to achieve a desired goal.
Impact of Gene Variants
Genetic influences on cognitive processes, including planning, are considered to be non-specific. Genetic damage can result in specific neuropsychological deficits, but there is an insufficient number of genes to determine the number or interconnections of neurons that give rise to human cognitive processes.
Ways to Recognize Problems
Common signs of cognitive disorder include confusion, poor motor coordination, loss of short-term or long-term memory, identity confusion, and impaired judgment.
Ways to Improve
Regular exercise, good sleep habits, stress reduction, social involvement, and challenging your brain are some of the ways to improve cognitive function.
Did you know
Effective planning is linked to higher success rates in personal and professional settings.
