    Why do teenagers seem so much more impulsive, so much less self-aware than grown-ups? Cognitive neuroscientist Sarah-Jayne Blakemore compares the prefrontal cortex in adolescents to that of adults, to show us how typically "teenage" behavior is caused by the growing and developing brain.
    Talk by Sarah-Jayne Blakemore.

    If your doing this for school and need to answer questions to find things easy you can press the 3 dots next to the save button and then press open transcript and then hold ctrl and press f and then type whatever word you want into the box and it will highlight the word you typed 👍

    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.

  • @JungleJargon
    @JungleJargon 11 лет назад

    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.

  • @thomascameron2612
    @thomascameron2612 11 лет назад +3

    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.

  • @accent77

    • @jjep23
      @jjep23 4 года назад +1

      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.

    • @naylisyazwina6836
      @naylisyazwina6836 4 года назад

      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 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.

  • @holleey

    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.

    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.

    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.

  • @MiLenaStoyanova90

    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.

    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.
