Steinberg, Cauffman, Woolard, Graham, and Banich measured these two classes of abilities with narrow, biased assessments that captured only a segment of each pathway and created misleading age patterns based on ceiling and floor effects. It is a simple matter to…

In this article, we argue that policymakers in America should reference a coherent, comprehensive, and child-centered framework for children.

Sylwester, Robert – DesignShare (NJ1), 2007
The author notes that teachers who continually require students to sit still and stop talking apparently prefer to teach a grove of trees rather than a classroom full of students. School environments should be designed to enhance the development of student brains -- and student brains are about movement, not motionless stagnation. 21st century…

Gilligan, Carol – New Directions for Child Development, 1987
Emphasizes necessity of reconsideration of adolescent development, for these reasons: the view of childhood has changed; females have not been systematically studied; theories of cognitive development favor mathematical and scientific thinking over the humanities; and because the psychology of adolescence is anchored in separation and independence…

Adolescent risk-taking behavior needs to be understood in the context of contemporary youth culture and normal development.
