Cognitive flexibility, the capacity to adjust thoughts and actions in response to sudden changes in environment, situation, or task demands, is essential for a healthy daily life and for understanding maladaptive behaviors. Reversal learning tasks in animal research are commonly employed to evaluate this adaptability. In particular, serial reversal learning paradigms are useful to assess the ability to switch task-solving strategies. However, conventional serial reversal learning tasks in mice, in general, are time-consuming and labor intensive, limiting its broader application. To address thi
