The ability to switch between thinking about different concepts or adapt behavior and thinking in response to new and unexpected conditions.
From Latin 'cognitio' (knowledge) + 'flexibilis' (that may be bent). Bending one's thinking to fit new situations.
Cognitive flexibility is your brain's ability to do a mental U-turn — when the rules change, a flexible brain adapts quickly instead of getting stuck.
