Journal ArticleDOI
Peers increase adolescent risk taking by enhancing activity in the brain’s reward circuitry
TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that the presence of peers may promote adolescent risk taking by sensitizing brain regions associated with the anticipation of potential rewards, including the ventral striatum and orbitofrontal cortex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Does working memory training work? The promise and challenges of enhancing cognition by training working memory
TL;DR: A review of the current state of the emerging WM training literature considers both its successes and limitations, and identifies two distinct approaches to WM training, strategy training and core training, and highlights both the theoretical and practical motivations that guide each approach.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlled & automatic processing: behavior, theory, and biological mechanisms
Walter Schneider,Jason Chein +1 more
TL;DR: Recent progress in mapping the components of this model onto specific neuroanatomical substrates are described, and the potential for applying functional neuroimaging techniques to test the model’s predictions, and its relation to other models are briefly discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI
The dual systems model: Review, reappraisal, and reaffirmation
Elizabeth P. Shulman,Ashley R. Smith,Karol Silva,Grace Icenogle,Natasha Duell,Jason Chein,Laurence Steinberg,Laurence Steinberg +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence related to the dual systems model of adolescent risk taking is reviewed, which encompasses both the psychological and neuroimaging literatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Teenage Brain: Peer Influences on Adolescent Decision Making
TL;DR: For instance, this article found that adolescent risk-taking propensity derives in part from a maturational gap between early adolescent remodeling of the brain's socio-emotional reward system and a gradual, prolonged strengthening of the cognitive control system.
