A new neural model reveals how the brain is able to adapt and process new information, researchers report.
Researchers have identified a region of the thalamus that helps us switch between appropriate behavior required for different contexts.
A new study reports that it's not just adults who resort to habits when under stress, infants do too. Additionally, less cognitive flexibility children have due to stress could impact their acquisition of knowledge.
Cognitive flexibility, an ability to switch between different concepts, or adapt behavior to achieve goals in a novel or changing environment, is a key player in both learning and creativity.
A new study reports bilingual people think about time differently depending on the language context they are estimating event duration.
A new study suggests a lack of cognitive flexibility and ability to retain new information may be a result of the Arc protein not being fully switched off.
Researchers argue the existing categorical framework for mental illnesses needs to be revised, citing a substantial overlap between disorders, with most patients meeting the criteria for multiple disorders.
Researchers report rats exposed to phthalates, both while in the womb and through lactation, had fewer neurons and synapses than peers who were not exposed to the plasticizing chemicals. Additionally, the phthalate exposed rats showed deficits in cognitive flexibility.
Fast-paced, real time strategy video games can help train the brain to become more agile and improve strategic thinking, a new study finds.
A new study will look at how sleep deprivation affects cognitive flexibility and cognitive processing on a neurobiological level.
A new study proposes a model that underlies the neural mechanisms of cognitive flexibility.
A new study looks at the mechanisms behind cognitive flexibility.
