Cognitive flexibility influences behavioral strategies in sequential decision making, suggesting insight into rigidity effects.
Cognitive flexibility—the ability to adapt behavior to changing environmental contingencies—is paradoxically constrained by systematic forms of rigidity. Organisms persist with outdated strategies long after they cease to be adaptive, yet traditional computational models assume instantaneous arbitration between habitual and goal-directed control.
