Theory of Mind and conduct problems in children: Deficits in reading the “emotions of the eyes” (2008, background): “Moreover, adolescence is associated with significant changes in brain regions that underlie social behaviour (Spear, 2000).”
Do dropouts drop out too soon? Wealth, health and happiness from compulsory schooling (2007, background): “Spear (2000) summarizes from a review of evidence that maturational changes in the brain during adolescence contribute to many characteristic differences relative to individuals of other ages, including an increase in propensity to use drugs and partake in other risky behavior.”
The Laboratory Rat: Relating Its Age With Human's (2013, background): “behaviors extend well beyond the pubertal period through the transition to adulthood,([29]) which begins”
Emotion regulation strategies and psychosocial well-being in adolescence (2016, neutral): “Adolescence, typically defined as spanning the teenage years’ age range (see Spear, 2000), is instead a crucial life period in which several physical, cognitive, emotional, and behavioral changes occur, including those in attachment patterns that imply changes in emotional experiences about D o w n…”
How Large are Returns to Schooling? Hint: Money Isn't Everything (2009, neutral): “Parents with teenagers can attest that youth are particularly predisposed to downplaying or ignoring future consequences from current behavior (see also Laibson 1997, O'Donoghue and Rabin 1999, Spear 2000 for more academic evaluation).”
The adolescent brain. (2008, methodology): “Adolescence can be described as a progressive transition into adulthood with a nebulous ontogenetic time course (Spear, 2000).”
Longitudinal changes in grey and white matter during adolescence (2010, neutral): “Adolescence is defined as the developmental period of transition from childhood to adulthood and is characterized by maturation of cognitive abilities and complex behavioral features (Spear, 2000).”
Early developmental emergence of human amygdala–prefrontal connectivity after maternal deprivation (2013, background): “Prior research suggests that developmental changes in cortisol (40, 41) contribute to brain development through interactions with receptors that regulate genes involved in neuromaturational processes (42, 43).”
Who’s messing with my mind? (2008, background): “…that substantial growth, change and finetuning of the neural circuitry underpinning cognitive control occurs between adolescence and adulthood (e.g. Giedd et al. 1999; Spear 2000; Sowell et al. 2001, 2002; Adleman et al. 2002; for overviews see YurgelunTodd 2007; Casey et al. 2008; Steinberg 2008).”
Incentives and Services for College Achievement: Evidence from a Randomized Trial (2007, neutral): “Spear (2000) suggests adolescents may be particularly predisposed to this bias.”
Metacognitive skills and intellectual ability of young adolescents: a longitudinal study from a developmental perspective (2014, background): “Spear (2000) characterized adolescence as a transitional developmental period.”
Priceless: The Nonpecuniary Benefits of Schooling (2011, background): “Parents with teenagers can attest that youth are particularly predisposed to downplaying or ignoring future consequences from current behavior (for a more academic gloss on this argument, see Laibson, 1997; O’Donoghue and Rabin, 1999; Spear, 2000).”
Age differences in sensation seeking and impulsivity as indexed by behavior and self-report: evidence for a dual systems model. (2008, result): “Consistent with this model, animal studies indicate that increases in reward seeking are coincident with pubertal maturation, although it is not clear whether these increases are caused by increases in pubertal hormones or merely coincident with them (Sisk & Foster, 2004; Spear, 2000 ); it is plaus”
Adolescents' emotion regulation in daily life: links to depressive symptoms and problem behavior. (2003, background): “cognitive systems thought to underlie the regulation of emotion appear to mature throughout the adolescent period (Spear, 2000).”
Adolescent immaturity in attention-related brain engagement to emotional facial expressions (2003, background): “Such maturation in the ability to maintain attention during adolescence is thought to reflect aspects of brain development (Dahl, 1996; Nelson et al., 2002; Spear, 2000).”
