Cognitive flexibility is a psychological concept that refers to the ability to adapt and shift one's thinking or cognitive strategies in response to changing or novel situations. This includes being able to switch between different tasks or perspectives, think creatively, and problem-solve effectively. Cognitive flexibility is important for tasks such as learning, decision-making, and adapting to new environments. It is also related to other cognitive processes such as attention, working memory, and planning. Research in this area seeks to understand how cognitive flexibility develops, how it is influenced by factors such as age and neurological conditions, and how it can be improved through interventions or training programs.
