Book Description
This volume brings together an interdisciplinary group of leading scientists to examine how the adolescent brain develops, and how this development impacts various aspects of reasoning and decision-making, from the use and function of memory and representation, to judgment, mathematical problem-solving, and the construction of meaning. The contributors ask questions that seek to uncover the basic mechanisms underlying brain development in adolescence, such as: How do the concepts of proof and reasoning emerge?What is the relationship between cognitive and procedural understanding in problem-solving?How can researchers build assessments to capture and describe learning over time?The Adolescent Brain raises questions relevant to young people’s educational and health outcomes, as well as to neuroscience research.
