From neuroscience to the practice of learning: an in-depth investigation into cognitive flexibility.

Neurochemical Alterations in Bilateral DLPFC after Structure Learning Training in Healthy Adults

Introduction: Structural learning integrates 'Learning to learn' approach of individual's abilities to extract underlying pattern and develop rules to adapt new changes through cognitive flexibility. Homeostatic plasticity in neuronal circuits is …

Cognitive flexibility training for impact in real-world settings

Interacting with complex and dynamic environments challenges the brain’s ability to adapt to change. This key ability known as cognitive flexibility involves learning the structure of the environment, switching attention between features, dimensions …

Potential cognitive and neural benefits of a computerised cognitive training programme based on Structure Learning in healthy adults: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial

Background: Cognitive flexibility refers to the capacity to shift between conceptual representations particularly in response to changes in instruction and feedback. It enables individuals to swiftly adapt to changes in their environment and has …

Study protocol: How does cognitive flexibility relate to other executive functions and learning in healthy young adults?

Background: Cognitive flexibility (CF) enables individuals to readily shift from one concept or mode of practice/thoughts to another in response to changes in the environment and feedback, making CF vital to optimise success in obtaining goals. …

A New Remote Guided Method for Supervised Web-Based Cognitive Testing to Ensure High-Quality Data: Development and Usability Study

Background: The global COVID-19 pandemic has triggered a fundamental reexamination of how human psychological research can be conducted safely and robustly in a new era of digital working and physical distancing. Online web-based testing has risen to …
