Set shifting

Basic Characteristics

• Description

Set Shifting is the ability to modify ongoing behavior in response to changing goals or environmental experiences. Set shifting takes place in the frontal lobes, the prefrontal cortex and the basal ganglia. Difficulty in set shifting is associated with disorders such as Schizophrenia, Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), Anorexia-nervosa, and Parkinson’s disease.
