认知灵活性（CF）使个人能够根据环境和反馈的变化，轻松地从一种概念或实践/思维模式转换到另一种概念或模式，这使得CF对于优化实现目标的成功至关重要。然而，CF如何与其他执行功能（例如，工作记忆，反应抑制），心理能力（例如，创造力、读写能力、计算能力、智力、结构学习）和社会因素（例如，使用多种语言、容忍不确定性、感受到的社会支持、社会决策）的理解较少。本研究旨在（1）建立CF与其他执行功能技能和智力的结构效度，（2）阐明CF与结构学习、创造力、职业决策和规划以及其他生活技能之间的具体关系。这项研究将招募多达400名健康的新加坡年轻人（18-30岁），以完成广泛的认知任务和社会问卷/任务。丰富的任务/问卷电池和内部参与者管理，使我们能够使用计算模型和结构方程模型来检查潜在的结构之间的连接感兴趣。本研究首次系统地考察了亚洲背景下CF的结构效度及其与其他重要认知技能（如学习和创造力）的相互关系。本研究将进一步探讨合作框架作为一个非酉结构的概念，这是该领域的一个新的理论命题。纳入结构学习范式的目的是告知未来发展的一种新的干预范式，以提高CF。最后，研究的结果将是有用的通知课堂教学法和终身学习政策和课程的设计，作为剑桥-南大中心终身学习和个性化认知（CLIC）的更广泛的职权范围的一部分。
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. However, how CF relates to other executive functions (e.g., working memory, response inhibition), mental abilities (e.g., creativity, literacy, numeracy, intelligence, structure learning), and social factors (e.g., multilingualism, tolerance of uncertainty, perceived social support, social decision-making) is less well understood. The current study aims to (1) establish the construct validity of CF in relation to other executive function skills and intelligence, and (2) elucidate specific relationships between CF, structure learning, creativity, career decision making and planning, and other life skills. This study will recruit up to 400 healthy Singaporean young adults (age 18–30) to complete a wide range of cognitive tasks and social questionnaires/tasks. The richness of the task/questionnaire battery and within-participant administration enables us to use computational modelling and structural equation modelling to examine connections between the latent constructs of interest. The current study is the first systematic investigation into the construct validity of CF and its interrelationship with other important cognitive skills such as learning and creativity, within an Asian context. The study will further explore the concept of CF as a non-unitary construct, a novel theoretical proposition in the field. The inclusion of a structure learning paradigm is intended to inform future development of a novel intervention paradigm to enhance CF. Finally, the results of the study will be useful for informing classroom pedagogy and the design of lifelong learning policies and curricula, as part of the wider remit of the Cambridge-NTU Centre for Lifelong Learning and Individualised Cognition (CLIC).
