TOWER OF HANOI - LEGEND
The Tower of Hanoi, also known as the tower
of Brahmanism or puzzles of the end of
world, was invented and sold as
toy, in the year 1883, by the mathematician
French Edouard Lucas.
According to him, the game that was popular in
China and Japan came from Vietnam.
The mathematician was inspired by a legend.
Hindu, which spoke of a temple in
Benares, Holy city of India, where there existed
a sacred tower of Brahmanism, whose
the function was to improve the mental discipline of
young monks.
TOWER OF HANOI
The game consists of a wooden base where three vertical poles are fixed, and
a certain number of wooden discs, of different diameters, drilled in the center.
Let's call A, B, and C the three rods, according to the figure.

The following rules must be
fulfilled:
Move one piece at a time
2) Start from left to right
3) The larger disc can never stay
on top of the smallest
TOWER OF HANOI
The Tower of Hanoi is a "puzzle" that consists of
a base containing three pins.
One of which are arranged some discs one on top of the other.
others, in ascending order of diameter, from top to
down.
The problem consists of transferring all the discs from a
pin for any other, using one of the pins as
helper, so that a larger disk never stays in
above another smaller in no situation.
The number of disks can vary, with the simplest one being
contains only three.

The Tower of Hanoi has traditionally been
considered as a procedure for
evaluation of memory capacity of
work, and especially planning
and problem solving.

EVALUATION OF SKILLS
Cognitive
The Tower of Hanoi test is a test applied to individuals for assessment of
cognitive and behavioral skills.
The performance in the Tower of Hanoi test is generally
committed to patients with neuropsychological problems.

EXECUTIVE FUNCTIONS
Lezak (2004), in explaining the use of the tower game in assessing function
executive, explains that complex cognitive tasks similar to a
puzzle, lead to disorders of executive function, influencing the
good performance in planning, working memory, flexibility
cognitive and inhibitory control. Working memory can be evaluated
considering the learning curve, seeking to find the sequence
certain movements, reducing the number of movements and the time of
execution during each attempt (Oliveira-Souza et al., 27 2001).
