adaptive
Quick to change
Adaptive describes the ability to adjust to new conditions or circumstances.
An adaptive strategy changes in response to feedback.
Adaptive technology helps people with disabilities by accommodating their needs.
In biology, adaptive traits are those that help organisms survive in their environments.
The word emphasizes flexibility and responsiveness rather than fixed approaches.
