In recent years there have been tremendous advances in
understanding how brain development underlies behavioural changes
in adolescence. Based on the latest discoveries in the research
field, Eveline A. Crone examines changes in learning, emotions,
face processing and social relationships in relation to brain
maturation, across the fascinating period of adolescent
development. This book covers new insights from brain research that
help us to understand what happens when children turn into
adolescents and then into young adults. Why do they show increases
in sensation-seeking, risk-taking and sensitivity to opinions of
friends? With the arrival of neuroimaging techniques, it is now
possible to unravel what goes on in an individual's brain when
completing cognitive tasks, when playing computer games, or when
engaging in online social interactions. These findings help reveal
how children learn, control thoughts and actions, plan activities,
control emotions and think about intentions of others, offering a
new perspective on behaviour and motivations of adolescents. This
is the first comprehensive book to cover the many domains of
adolescent brain development, stretching from cognitive to
affective to social development. It is valuable reading for
students and researchers in the field of adolescent development and
developmental cognitive neuroscience and those interested in how
the developing brain affects behaviour in the teenage years.
