More than that these things make being a teenager so much more special, I'm 18 now and even now I miss how I experienced the world when I was 16 and when I was 12-13 and I'm sure in years to come I will miss how I experience the world now. That's not to say that I think it's getting worse but it was different, The intensity at which I felt emotion, the way I felt about other people and the world will never be the same. Also my mother cooked me dinner then.
Many questions arise when one follows this presentation. Children following the academic pathway versus those who have to drop out of school, makes me think, is systematic education necessary to shape our knowledge about the world? I believe what is missing from that is real life experience and is what you gain out of school or when you work uneducated or after graduation.
Are there any adolecents out there who feel insulted? I know I would be if I still was one. Some of what she said doesn't even apply to my earlier self.
While this may not apply to everyone, this is typical of the adolescence developmental period. Much like not every that smokes is diagnosed with lung cancer, but the disease is typical for those who do.
I would say that she is right about that adolescent having trouble taking up other people's perspectives. When I was suffering or in distress, I would always think "Why is this happening to only me", as if there were no other teenagers my age feeling the same way I do. I liked listening to Avril Lavigne's songs back then because it felt like she was the only person that knew what I was feeling. About risk taking, the only risk taking I do is in blitz chess lol maybe because I didn't really have any friends? Maybe if I did have some friends, I would do some risks to impress them but nothing crazy.
I'm a teenager and I didnt feel insulted at all. It's pretty factual though I don't think I'm that bad at taking other people's perspectives...surprised that even the adults made so many errors in the study 🤔
yes our brains may be vulnerable and malleable during secondary school, but that means that we should be exercising *creativity*, not mindlessly memorizing whatever a teacher may tell us!
An excellent presentation. Great research to back up claims made by the speaker. Despite this, I have a slight disagreement with the implications of this speech in relation to education. The frontal cortex is the part of the brain that does social interaction right? That is the part that is being rewired during puberty. Perhaps it is not such a good idea to put developing teens in institutional facilities and teaching them how to write essays while they should be learning how to relate socially.
How? How? How? It infuriates me that these people never say HOW. How do people in education capitalize on this? How do we change the way we educate to improve the system?
so much kids learn in school is going to be subject of the process of unlinking synapses (or in simple terms "forgetting") because the information is just not relevant to them and their lives. that's another big failure of our current education system.
I find this a little bit demeaning i acknolege my lack of knowlege by going to an educational establishment and i am trying to move out and pay my own bills but only so i can be an independant human, i think most teenagers who want to move out are thinking the same thing as I, that said i have consistently shown I know very little when it comes to the thought processes of other humans my point is, this is rather untrue from my position and i have no reason to see that it's correct from any other
I know this, and that is something that children do all the time. That is how they learn. They make mistakes and learn from them constantly. What they lack is forethought.
ur language says much about u if u want to portray urself better try not swearing and to answer your comment: I would but i hav better things to do like troll :D
From an evolutionary standpoint risk taking in primitive humans could have benefited in hunting. Initially humans were a part of the good chain, not at the top. Risk would likely have been necessary for survival. Considering life expectancy was so low initially in human development the hyperactive limbic system would have complimented reproductive maturity and species survival.
it might have smth to do with the transition from childhood to adulthood and the risky rituals involved with it , rituals that have been part of human culture from the tribal times ...i guess it's enough time to be evaluated by the brain as smth useful.
I used to coach girls soccer and we taught them to "Head the Ball" which strikes the Prefrontal Cortex without any head protection. Perhaps is may not be such a good idea. Whatcha all think ? Players may not touch the ball with hands which on the pitch except for the goalkeeper.
That was a great presentation but not much new that we didn't already know, to some extent and it was more a projection at the end where kids have an opportunity to learn. I have an opportunity to learn and that is irrelevant to the formation of my brain. Kids learn and grow, that is what they are supposed to do. They are born in this present day environment to cope with it, better than we can, generally speaking, as long as they don't develop a mental condition of some kind, where wires cross.
Be interesting to look at these findings across cultures that do not have such concepts of adolescence. in many indigenous tribes you go straight from childhood to adulthood. These findings might be because we treat adolescences that way at least partially. The Myth of the Teen Brain by Robert Epstein would suggest as much. Most of the research on "teen brains" are done in western societies with concepts of adolescence and set ways of treating adolescence. Interesting talk none the less.
yea, that's the problem with most of these kinds of studies. Most of these experiments leave a lot open to interpretation of the facts. It seems like she is equating being self-aware to being self-disciplined. Personally I would say that children are more self-aware, they just lack the mental discipline to stop themselves from doing "stupid" things.
