Cognitive flexibility and creativity in older adults

A practical and scientifically grounded manual designed for professionals working in the field of cognitive prevention and rehabilitation in later life.
This book introduces a structured pathway based on the CREC training programme – Creativity in Everyday-life Challenges – developed to stimulate flexible thinking and problem-solving abilities in everyday situations.

The book is organised into modules that can be adapted to a range of contexts:

• Healthy older adults, for enhancing executive functions
• Elderly individuals in care homes or residential facilities, with simplified and engaging activities
• Patients with focal brain injuries, MCI (Mild Cognitive Impairment), or Parkinson’s disease, through exercises aimed at maintaining active cognitive function

It includes clinical case examples, practical suggestions, and guidance on tailoring the programme to individual needs.
