Examples of cognitive flexibility in the following topics:
-
- "Executive function" is an umbrella term for the management, regulation, and control of cognitive processes, including working memory, reasoning, problem solving, social inhibition, planning, and execution.
- The executive system is a theoretical cognitive system that manages the processes of executive function.
- Cognitive flexibility, goal-directed behavior, and planning also begin to develop, but are not fully functional.
- During preadolescence, there are major increases in verbal working memory, goal-directed behavior, selective attention, cognitive flexibility, and strategic planning.
- Cognitive flexibility is resilient, however, and does not usually start declining until around age 70.
-
- Dorsolateral
prefrontal cortex – Important
for executive functions, including working
memory, cognitive flexibility, and abstract reasoning.
-
- Encouraging cognitive growth through case discussions.
- Cognitive apprenticeship and instructional technology.
- Cognitive flexibility, constructivism, and hypertext: Random assess instruction for advanced knowledge acquisition in ill-structured domains.

- Below are some examples of ways that cognitive apprenticeship practices are applied in real-world settings.
- Students completing a certificate in online learning at Edith Cowan University must be able to employ contemporary learning theories in the design of flexible and open on-line courses.
- Cognitive apprenticeship practices include the use of coaching/scaffolding available in online journals and bulletin board discussion with mentors, modeling through access to prototypes, and articulation/reflection through online journaling.

- Cognitive development occurs rapidly during childhood as the brain continues to grow and develop.
- Cognitive development refers to the development of a child in terms of information processing, conceptual resources, perceptual skill, and language learning.
- The Swiss cognitive theorist Jean Piaget was one of the most influential researchers in the field of child development.
- Piaget states that language is the most flexible means of mental representation; at the same time, young children do not yet have the capability to use language alone as a means of representation.
- During the concrete operational stage, a major turning point in cognition occurs: the appearance of more logical and organized thought.
-
- Neurocognitive disorders involve impairments in cognitive abilities such as memory, problem solving, and perception.
- Neurocognitive functions are cognitive functions closely linked to the function of particular brain areas, neural pathways, or cortical networks in the brain substrate at the cellular molecular level.
- A probable diagnosis for Alzheimer's disease is based on the history of the illness and cognitive testing with medical imaging and blood tests to rule out other possible causes.
- In order to be diagnosed, a person must exhibit a cognitive decline and some impairment in cognitive functioning.
- Regular physical exercise with or without physiotherapy can be beneficial to maintain and improve mobility, flexibility, strength, gait speed, and quality of life.
-
- Environments utilize cognitive modeling to provide feedback to the student while assessing student abilities and adapting the curriculum based upon past student performance.
- Systems must have the ability to be flexible and allow for easy addition of new content.
- Algorithms and cognitive models should be broad enough to teach mathematics, science, and language.
- The latest generation of distance learning systems take into account the students' answers and adapt themselves to the student's cognitive abilities using a concept called "cognitive scaffolding. " Cognitive scaffolding is the ability of an automated learning system to create a path of assessment from lowest to highest based on the demonstrated cognitive abilities.

-
- "Cognition" refers to thinking and memory processes, and "cognitive development" refers to long-term changes in these processes.
- Major areas of research in cognitive psychology include perception, memory, categorization, knowledge representation, numerical cognition, language, and thinking.
- Cognitive psychology is one of the more recent additions to psychological research.
- Though there are examples of cognitive approaches from earlier researchers, cognitive psychology really developed as a subfield within psychology in the late 1950s and early 1960s.
- Piaget is best known for his stage theory of cognitive development.
-
- A third category of cognitive symptoms is also included in some descriptions of the disease.
- They may exhibit waxy flexibility, where another person can move the patient's limbs into postures and the patient will retain these postures, like a wax doll.
- Cognitive symptoms are the most harmful to the livelihood of the individual, as they prevent the individual from participating effectively in the workplace or in society.
- Cognitive symptoms are subtle differences in cognitive ability that are normally only discovered after neuropsychological tests are given.
- This cloth was embroidered by an individual with schizophrenia and demonstrates the disorganized cognition associated with the disease.
