Cognitive flexibility and cognitive demands: An eye tracking investigation
Ch. 37. P. 1–3.
Cognitive flexibility is crucial for adapting behavior to shifting demands, particularly in tasks with varying cognitive requirements. This study examines the relationship between cognitive flexibility levels and eye movement parameters across six difficulty levels. Results show that highly flexible individuals consistently outperform those with lower flexibility, demonstrating more fixations, shorter fixation durations, and reduced blinking. Notable differences in eye movement patterns become apparent at the highest difficulty levels (5-6), emphasizing the importance of switching abilities in complex cognitive tasks. These findings offer new perspectives on psychophysiological measurements of higher-order cognition, with significant implications for cognitive theory.

Bilinguals' language‐switching ability is regulated by language control mechanisms associated with executive control system. Cognitive flexibility (CF), one of the executive functions, is closely linked to language switching. Existing functional magnetic resonance imaging data demonstrate diverse patterns of neural activity elicited in language‐switching and CF tasks, and the degree of overlap between the respective brain ...

Cognitive flexibility (CF) allows individuals to adapt their behavior to changing environmental demands. As task complexity increases, CF may substantially impact performance by facilitating a shift towards more efficient information processing strategies. However, its role in tasks with high cognitive demands remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, while CF is associated with inhibitory control and working memory ...

Valence plays a significant role in communication, influencing the perception, processing, and retention of verbal stimuli. Research in cognitive linguistics indicates that the emotional tone of verbal stimuli affects cognitive processing and reading behavior. For example, words with strong valence — both positive and negative — increase visual attention, as reflected in longer fixation durations. ...

Creativity is a crucial prerequisite for innovation, successful problem solving, and self-expression, but how do we affect creative thinking in a positive way? The present study investigated the effects of open monitoring meditation (OMM) on creativity. We proposed that OMM will benefit creativity in metaphor production by cognitive flexibility (CF) enhancement. In the main study, ...

Cognitive flexibility—the ability to adaptively shift between different mental processes—is essential for human functioning. This meta-analysis examines age-related changes in neural correlates of cognitive flexibility using two common assessments: the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (rule-discovery) and Task-Switching Paradigm (rule-retrieval). We synthesized findings from 85 articles comprising 118 experiments with 2246 participants across young, middle-age, and ...

The present study investigates the contextual cueing effect under different levels of object working memory (WM) load. According to this effect, repeated exposure to a particular configuration of target objects and distractors leads to a decrease in target retrieval time. At the same time, subjects could not distinguish between «old» and «new» configurations, suggesting that ...

Background. The study of eye-movement strategies of athletes of various disciplines and skill levels is highly significant for sports psychology, since the results can be used in training to improve performance. Such studies are extremely scarce for ice hockey.
Objective. To determine successful eye-movement strategies for ice hockey players compared to wrestlers and controls (non-athletes) during ...

Поиск поведенческих и нейрофизиологических коррелятов психических процессов является одним из ключевых этапов в автоматизации их атрибуции методами машинного обучения (при создании классификаторов). Эффект предвзятости подтверждения (confirmation bias effect) относится к классу когнитивных искажений принятия решений и широко представлен в литературе: информация воспринимается как более достоверная, если она подтверждает личные убеждения, и наоборот. В ряде исследований ...

Executive functions are a set of high-level cognitive processes that regulate human behavior and cognition, and are necessary for adaptive and goal-directed behavior. The error monitoring process can be considered as a condition preceding the enhancement or activation of executive control. The neural correlate of this condition is the error-related negativity (ERN). This article presents ...

Cognitive flexibility allows individuals to switch between different tasks, strategies, or ideas; an ability that is important for everyday life. The Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST) and task switching paradigm (TSP) are popular measures of cognitive flexibility. Although both tasks require switching, the TSP requires participants to memorize switching rules and retrieve them when they ...

In this study, we investigated eye movements during silent reading in 222 typically developing Russian children from grades 1 through 6. First, we established eye-movement benchmarks and detected two periods (between grades 1-2 and grades 3-4) when reading development was the fastest. We compared the basic eye-movement measures in children to those in adults and ...

Introduction. Impulsivity, manifested in the difficulty of suppressing certain actions, is often associated
with increased anxiety. Depending on the level of impulsivity, individuals with higher anxiety
react differently to tasks requiring inhibitory control. The anti-saccade task is one of the psychophysiological
approaches to assessing visual attention and inhibitory control. This study aimed to
test a hypothesis that individuals with ...
