DOI: 10.1002/aur.2732
Abstract: Restricted and repetitive behaviors (RRBs) are hallmark characteristics of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Previous studies suggest that insistence on sameness (IS) characterized as higher‐order RRBs may be a promising subgrouping variable for ASD. Cognitive inflexibility… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/hbm.24394
Abstract: Cognitive flexibility is a major facet of executive functions and often refers to sequential task control; that is, it is very likely that one may re‐encounter a task that has previously been abandoned to carry… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00213-019-05211-5
Abstract: RationaleCocaine use disorder (CUD) is associated with cognitive deficits that have been linked to poor treatment outcomes. An improved understanding of cocaine’s deleterious effects on cognition may help optimize pharmacotherapies. Emerging evidence implicates abnormalities in… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s10763-020-10096-4
Abstract: The scientist–practitioner gap refers to the phenomenon of individuals with a scientific background exhibiting non-scientific beliefs. Informed by the social-cognitive process model, this study aimed to develop a more coherent understanding of how such non-scientific… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.anbehav.2016.10.004
Abstract: Cognition is one of the mechanisms underlying behavioural flexibility, but flexibility of cognition itself may vary as a result of trade-offs between the ability to learn new information and the ability to retain old memories.… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.bbr.2017.08.028
Abstract: In the present study, we have investigated the effects of the traits 'optimism' and 'pessimism' on cognitive flexibility in an animal model of depression based on chronic restraint stress. For this, first, we trained and… read more here.

Maternal deprivation impairs memory and cognitive flexibility, effect that is avoided by environmental enrichment

DOI: 10.1016/j.bbr.2020.112468
Abstract: Maternal deprivation (MD) causes cognitive deficits that persist until adulthood. Thereby, the environmental enrichment (EE) is widely used to increase brain plasticity. Here, pregnant female rats were used and their offspring were submitted to neonatal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.biopsych.2019.03.983
Abstract: BACKGROUND Genetic polymorphisms of the dopamine transporter gene (DAT1) and perinatal complications associated with poor oxygenation are risk factors for attentional problems in childhood and may show interactive effects. METHODS We created a novel expression-based… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.cognition.2018.02.004
Abstract: Cognitive flexibility emerges from an interplay of multiple cognitive systems, of which lexical-semantic and executive are thought to be the most important. Yet this has not been addressed by previous studies demonstrating that such forms… read more here.
