Cognitive Development?
Continued brain development. Recent research suggests
that teens' brains are not completely developed until late in
adolescence. Specifically, studies suggest that the
connections between neurons affecting emotional, physical
and mental abilities are incomplete. (Strauch, 2003) This
could explain why some teens seem to be inconsistent in
controlling their emotions, impulses, and judgments.
