This article “Risk Taking in Adolescents” seeks to demonstrate that risk-taking characteristics among adolescents are attributed to developmental neuroscience. The author covers two key things that help motivate the review. He wonders why there is an increase in risky actions between childhood and adolescence. The main factor is the changes that occur during puberty and the social-emotional changes in the brain that cause an increase in reward-seeking. In adolescents this phenomenon occurs especially in the presence of peers and in most cases there is a brain remodeling of the dopaminergic system. Risk-taking only reduces as adolescents reach adulthood and as the brain's cognitive systems take control and remain in control. The changes are such as to provide the adult with the ability to have a greater capacity for self-regulation. The author refutes research on risk taking, which provides false information as it does not support the stereotype of adolescents as irrational individuals as invulnerable due to unawareness or distracted. They also do not worry about the dangers they face due to risky behavior. Risk taking occurs due to competition between social-emotional networks and for cognitive control. There is ample evidence in developmental neuroscience, showing risk taking as an interaction between brain networks such as the social-emotional network and behavioral science. Compared to adults, adolescents do not necessarily consider the cost of danger but rather the reward. The brain, during puberty, becomes excited more easily and risk becomes exciting. An adult's cognitive control is very effective, which means that the b...... middle of paper ......y is able to imitate the actions of his model. The results reflect a picture of what related research indicates. Reaction There has been extensive research linking children's behavior to their parents' behavior. It is because children learn effectively through reinforcement. It is where they understand good and evil through their models' responses to their behavior. Rewards mean good behavior while punishment means bad behavior. This type of learning, combined with their high observation skills, transforms their behavior in a way that conforms to the behavior of their models. This is why this research review agrees with the findings and conclusion of the study. In fact, it is believed that children learn through observation and imitation and, for this reason, aggressive behavior can easily be transmitted from the model's parents to children..
