May 28, 2021 — Brain Development
[35 pages]
In this seminar we explore the effect of brain development on adolescence. Affect and cognition are oftenconsidered two sides of the same coin. This leads us to consider cognition alongside affect. Advances in cognitivedevelopment during adolescence can be directly attribute to advances in brain development. We also considerrecent research findings not only about brain development in adolescence but also about brain vulnerability.
