What is cognitive flexibility?
Cognitive flexibility is the ability of our brain to adapt in the face of change, switch from one task to another, consider multiple perspectives, and adjust our strategies when the situation demands it. It's an essential executive function for navigating a constantly moving world.
Why is it essential?
Problem Solving
Changing approach when a method doesn't work allows you to find solutions more quickly and efficiently.
Social Relationships
Understanding viewpoints different from our own improves communication and reduces interpersonal conflicts.
Stress Management
Adapting to the unexpected without panicking allows you to maintain calm and remain effective under pressure.
Creativity
The ability to consider multiple possibilities and think outside the box fuels innovation.
Signs of reduced cognitive flexibility
- Difficulty accepting last-minute changes
- Tendency to cling to a method even when it doesn't work
- Significant frustration with the unexpected
- Difficulty seeing situations from a different angle
- Need for very strict routines to function
How to improve cognitive flexibility?
Cognitive flexibility can be trained at any age. Varying routines, learning new skills, practicing strategy games, meditating, and deliberately exposing oneself to small changes are all ways to strengthen it. The DYNSEO programs offer fun exercises that stimulate this adaptability capacity.
