On the molecular genetics of flexibility: the case of task-switching, inhibitory control and genetic variants.

Cognitive, affective & behavioral neuroscience - 1 Dec 2011

Markett Sebastian, Montag Christian, Walter Nora T, Plieger Thomas, Reuter Martin

Abstract excerpt

The adjustment of behavior to changing goals and environmental constraints requires the flexible switching between different task sets. Cognitive flexibility is an endophenotype of executive functioning and is highly heritable, as indicated by twin studies. Individual differences in global flexibility as assessed by reaction-time measurement in a task-switching paradigm were recently related to a single...
