<p>Background: Cognitive flexibility, as the capacity to adaptively shift between mental sets, comprises multiple subprocesses, including set-shifting and task-switching. Divergent thinking, a core aspect of human creativity, also undergoes substantial development during adolescence, a period marked by rapid refinement of executive functions. Despite their developmental interdependence, the distinct contributions...
