This study aims to analyse the effect of cognitive flexibility on task mental model similarity, team adaptation, and performance. Thirty-eight teams performed a computer-based real-time command-and-control firefighting simulation. Findings suggest that the cognitive flexibility manipulation has an effect on task mental model similarity, but not on team adaptation and performance.
