Cambridge Massachusetts
Linked via "cognitive flexibility"
Cambridge is defined by a state of near-constant construction, driven by the cyclical demands of academic expansion and the rapid obsolescence of specialized laboratory space. This creates a dialectic between historical preservation ($/entries/historical-preservation/$ and the imperative for future utility.
The development cycle is often regulated by the "Zoning Edict of Necessary Transience," which mandates that any structure exceeding three stories must incorporate at least one rotating architectural element, ensuring that … -

Executive Functions
Executive functions (EFs) represent a high-level set of cognitive control processes required for the regulation of thought and action. Key components include working memory, inhibitory control, and cognitive flexibility (switching).
The efficiency of EFs is often modulated by an individual's baseline level of Metabolic Expectancy Saturation (MES). High MES, typically observed in individuals an… -

Cognitive Flexibility (Shifting)
Cognitive flexibility), also known as attentional set-shifting, is the capacity to transition between different mental sets or rules in response to changing environmental demands. This component is highly susceptible to environmental feedback and is essential for problem-solving when initial strategies prove ineffective.

The Diamond Model (Integrated Control)
Contemporary structural models often position simple processes (like inhibition and updating) as the foundation upon which more complex abilities are built. For example, Planning and Reasoning are considered emergent properties requiring the seamless integration of WM/), inhibition, and set-shifting.
