Abstract

The study examines such components of cognitive flexibility as cognitive shifting, 
flexible attentional control, inhibitory control, working memory, problem-solving through 
various strategies, and adaptation to new situations. It also explores the developmental 
characteristics of these components during the preschool years and their significance for 
children's cognitive activity and social adaptation. The article pays particular attention to 
the pedagogical and psychological potential of using games, problem situations, task 
switching, and creative activities to develop cognitive flexibility.
