Verified step by step guidance1
Understand that adolescence is a developmental stage characterized by significant physical, emotional, and cognitive changes.
Recognize that the prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for decision-making, impulse control, and reasoning, is not fully developed during adolescence.
Consider how the incomplete development of the prefrontal cortex can lead to impulsive and risky behaviors, as adolescents may struggle with self-regulation and foresight.
Acknowledge the role of puberty, which brings hormonal changes that can influence mood and behavior, but is not directly responsible for the cognitive aspects of impulsivity.
Differentiate between the concept of a 'personal fable,' which is an adolescent's belief in their uniqueness and invulnerability, and the neurological development that affects behavior.
