Summary:

This training title demonstrates Mental Disorder/Illness Symptom: Adolescent Risk Taking. During puberty the brain remodels the dopaminergic system. This leads to changes in the socio-emotional system with the result that adolescents seek behaviors that increase "rewards" for their adolescent brains. Such behaviors are additionally impacted by peer influence. These changes decrease as the brain's cognitive control systems take over in adulthood, leading to improved self-regulation. (Steinberg, L. (2008). A social neuroscience perspective on adolescent risk-taking. Developmental review, 28(1), 78-106.).
