This study recruited 51 elders aged 53-74 to discuss their daily activities in focus groups. The transcribed discourse was analyzed using the Chinese version of LIWC (Lin et al., 2020; Pennebaker et al., 2015) for cognitive complexity and dynamic lan
guage as well as content words related to elders' daily activities. The interruption behavior during the conversation was also coded and analyzed. After controlling for education, gender and age, the results showed that cognitive flexibility performance was accompanied by the increasing adoption of dynamic language, insight words and family words. These findings serve as the basis for predicting elders' cognitive flexibility through their daily language use.
Technological vigilance refers to the search for technological information, constant monitoring of technological changes, the prediction and intelligent control of them before they reach competitors, the questioning of competitors' behavior, technolo
gical innovations, the control of business strategies, the knowledge of new consumer desires, In order to have a competitive position in a complex and rapidly changing environment and superior to competitors. The study aims to study the relationship between technological vigilance and competitive advantage in the Syrian private commercial banks, which relate to the following dimensions (cost, flexibility, quality). In order to achieve this, a basic hypothesis has been formulated, with three sub-hypotheses. The researcher used the questionnaire method to collect the data analyzed using statistical tests, the most important of which are the one-sample T. test and the Pearson Correlation. The researcher reached several results, the most important of which is: a strong positive relationship between technological vigilance and competitive advantage in Syrian private commercial banks.

quantity and speed of ideas have also increased the quality and how the college of ideas.
It then Researcher provides many examples of famous scientists recorded books creativity and
immortalized the date their name through the ages, where they used methods of exploration intellectual
for the selection of the most appropriate of a series of ideas generated have, possess it on the classification
of the first type of thinker «John Enobern» which class people rated arbitrator eloquent into three types:
those who make the events, and those who they see, and those who are wondering: 'What's going on?
And researcher moves to the conditions and the basic components of productivity intellectual of fluency,
flexibility, originality and intellectual vision of the subject in all its aspects and in different ways,
explaining the need to move away from the way of thinking unilateral, or so-called intellectual stagnation
stressing that by listing the many historical experiences and realism.
The researcher adopted historical and descriptive and analytical in this research, combining stylistic
induction and deduction (conclusion), and using the objectivity in the way away from the self-offering a*
This research was prepared in the context of a student's master's thesis Ehab.
Constant changes occur to the family requirements of housing with the flowing of time, and these changes
are due to the number of its members, their needs , the standard of living the economic conditions , or as a
