Adolescence as a neurobiological critical period for the development of higher-order cognition (2018, neutral): “Adolescence is characterized, across cultures and species, as a period of heightened reward-driven behavior that is marked by increases in sensation seeking and novelty seeking (Spear, 2000).”
Emotion-based Dispositions to Rash Action: Positive and Negative Urgency (2008, neutral): “Although full consideration of this possibility is beyond the scope of this paper, it does appear to be the case that adolescence-limited increases in emotionality and risktaking occur across species (Spear, 2000).”
A developmental psychopathology perspective on adolescence. (2002, background): “…pruning of the prefrontal cortex (Feinberg, 1982; McGlashan & Hoffman, 2000), (b) pubertal increases in gonadal hormones during adolescence (Spear, 2000a, 2000b), (c) developmental transformations in prefrontal cortex and limbic brain regions (Keshavan & Hogarty, 1999), (d) continued…”
The Utility of Forms and Functions of Aggression in Emerging Adulthood: Association with Personality Disorder Symptomatology (2008, background): “…and social) marked in part by the further separation/independence from caregivers, identity moratorium, the salience of peer and romantic relationships, fundamental shifts in moral reasoning, an increase in risk-taking behaviors, and changes in cognitive flexibility (Arnett 2000; Spear 2000).”
The development of risk-taking: A multi-perspective review (2006, background): “…adolescence, and an adolescent shift from relatively more glutamate and gammaamino-butyric acid (GABA) neurotransmitters, towards relatively more dopaminergic neurotransmitters, inXuence the development of decision-making skills, and are central to adolescent risk-taking (Spear, 2000a, 2000b).”
Peer Contagion in Child and Adolescent Social and Emotional Development (2011, background): “Moreover, neuroanatomical and social evidence suggests that adolescence may be a specifically critical period of development during which peers are especially influential (e.g., Spear 2000, Steinberg et al. 2006).”
Growing up in a Recession (2014, neutral): “JEL Codes: P16, E60, Z13”
Therapeutic Engagement With Adolescents in Psychotherapy. (2003, neutral): “This neurological growth may influence executive functioning that includes behavioral inhibition, impulse control, and emotional regulation (Spear, 2000; Walker, 2002).”
Adolescence as a sensitive period for spiritual development. (2008, background): “Recent papers by Dahl (2004), Spear (2000a, 2000b), and Steinberg (2004, 2005, 2007), for instance, have stated that the combination of adolescent intense emotions and prefrontal cortex immaturity may explain why risk taking and problem behavior increase during adolescence.”
Relationships Between Parent and Child Emotion Regulation Strategy Use: A Brief Report (2012, background): “During adolescence there exists an increasing orientation toward autonomy ( Spear 2000 ) and less time is spent with family (Larson et al. 1996).”
The emotional dog and its rational tail: a social intuitionist approach to moral judgment. (2001, background): “Moral judgments typically involve more complex social stimuli than the simple words and visual objects used in automatic evaluation studies.”
Value versus growth investing: Why do different investors have different styles? (2015, neutral): “…shows that, in the developing brain, the volume of gray matter in the cortex gradually increases until about the age of adolescence, but then sharply decreases as the brain prunes away neuronal connections that are deemed superfluous to the adult needs of the individual (e.g., Spear (2000)).”
