This is the first attempt of empirical investigation of language mediated concept activation (LMCA) in bilingual memory as a cognitive mechanism facilitating divergent thinking. Russian-English bilingual and Russian monolingual college students were tested on a battery of tests including among others Abbreviated Torrance Tests for Adults assessing divergent thinking traits and translingual prim...

Cognitive flexibility is a central component of executive functions that allow us to behave meaningful in an ever changing environment. Here, we support a distinction between two different types of cognitive flexibility, shifting flexibility and spreading flexibility, based on independent underlying mechanisms commonly subsumed under the ability to shift cognitive sets. We use a homonym related...

Protein structures are valuable tools for understanding protein function. However, protein dynamics is also considered a key element in protein function. Therefore, in addition to structural analysis, fully understanding protein function at the molecular level now requires accounting for flexibility. However, experimental techniques that produce both types of information simultaneously are stil...
