Peer reviewed Peer reviewed

Steinberg, Laurence; Albert, Dustin; Cauffman, Elizabeth; Banich, Marie; Graham, Sandra; Woolard, Jennifer – Developmental Psychology, 2008
It has been hypothesized that sensation seeking and impulsivity, which are often conflated, in fact develop along different timetables and have different neural underpinnings, and that the difference in their timetables helps account for heightened risk taking during adolescence. In order to test these propositions, the authors examined age…
