The simultaneous-successive processing battery and five tests reputed to measure planning were administered to 104 Grade 8 male and female students. Test scores were submitted to principal component analysis and a planning factor was identified which was orthogonal to the two coding dimensions. The study clearly delineates independent coding and planning dimensions and provides support for and extends the simultaneous-successive information-processing model.
