Cognitive Flexibility is "the ability to see alternative solutions to problems, to think outside the box, to negotiate unfamiliar situations" (Page 114). This skill is highlighted in the chapter about Elizabeth Spiegel and her chess players, but is an effective character trait to develop in all students.
