Ruff Figural Fluency Test (RFFT) [ 62]: The RFFT was developed to provide clinical information regarding nonverbal capacity for fluid and divergent thinking, ability to flexibly shift cognitive set, planning strategies, and executive ability to coordinate this process.
Similarly, the hypothesized development of attentional control skills in mindfulness-based cognitive therapy may facilitate an individual's ability to flexibly shift level of processing in response to circumstances.
To anticipate the main hypothesis, the current analysis proposes that dysregulation of goal/action identification, that is, an inability to flexibly shift between an abstract level of goal/action identification, focused on higher-level ends, and a concrete level of goal/action identification, focused on lower-level means, is a transdiagnostic process underpinning psychopathology.

One proposed source of developmental change is changes in attention control, the ability to flexibly disengage and shift attention in a visual scene.
