It is a novel cognitive rehabilitation exercise for the rehabilitation of executive functions. In this exercise, the patient has to plan a two- day vacation in Rome by reserving the trains and hotel, and planning the itinerary in the city while taking into consideration a number of constraints, mirroring the kind of limitations one would have to plan for in real life (such as opening hours and bus schedules). The exercise was carefully designed to be as realistic as possible, thus having a high ecological validity and to maximize the positive impact on the patients quality of life.
