MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

Which BEST represents the relationship between the limbic system and the prefrontal cortex in adolescence, according to Steinberg and Casey?

The mature limbic system usually has greater influence than the less-developed prefrontal cortex.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

30 sec • 1 pt

In paragraph 8, the author writes, “The theory suggests that this results in a 'developmental mismatch' between the maturity and functioning of these two brain systems, and this in turn explains why adolescents get a kick out of taking risks (a function of the limbic system) and aren't always able to stop themselves doing so in the heat of the moment (a skill that relies on the prefrontal cortex).”

Which of the following examples BEST demonstrates the meaning of someone not being able to stop themselves from doing something in the heat of the moment?

A shopper deciding to purchase one gift item instead of another

A driver in a car with faulty brakes speeding out of control down a hill

A person saying something they will later regret during an argument

A boss firing an employee who was caught stealing from the business
