Wasserman 1,678 solutions What facts about the brain development during adolescence explain their risk taking impulsivity?In the adolescent brain, the frontal and prefrontal cortex aren't accessed with the same rapidity as the adult brain, which is why adolescents can act more impulsively. The frontal and prefrontal cortex house important executive functions like judgment and decision-making.
What is the most common nutritional concern during adolescence?These problems include problems of overeating and/or consistently making poor food choices, resulting in obesity. Conversely, other adolescents develop problems with unhealthy and extremely restrictive dieting without meeting the minimum nutritional requirements necessary for healthy growth and development.
Which of the following is a reason why children from a lower socioeconomic status SES do not do as well in school as children from middle or high SES?Which reason explains why children from a lower socioeconomic status (SES) do not do as well in school as children from middle or high SES? Children from low SES groups often attend inadequate or low-performing schools.
What is the area of the brain that undergoes considerable development during the adolescent years?The development and maturation of the prefrontal cortex occurs primarily during adolescence and is fully accomplished at the age of 25 years. The development of the prefrontal cortex is very important for complex behavioral performance, as this region of the brain helps accomplish executive brain functions.
