Scientists Show How Brain Flexibility Emerges in Infants – Technology Networks
Researchers used magnetic resonance imaging techniques to show the emergence of a functional flexible brain during early infancy.
Cognitive flexibility refers to the ability to readily switch between mental processes in response to external stimuli and different task demands. For example, when our brains are processing one task, an external stimulus is present, requiring us to switch our mental processes to attend to this external stimulus.
