Adolescent Maturity and the Brain: The Promise and Pitfalls of Neuroscience Research in Adolescent Health Policy (2009, positive): “Poor executive functioning leads to difficulty with planning, attention, using feedback, and mental inflexibility [19], all of which could undermine judgment and decision making.”
Executive Functions after Age 5: Changes and Correlates (2009, background): “Planning is a critical part of goal-oriented behavior; it embodies the ability to formulate actions in advance and to approach a task in an organized, strategic and efficient manner (Anderson, 2002).”
Social cognitive development during adolescence. (2006, background): “…(Leon-Carrion et al. 2004; Luna et al. 2004a), processing speed (Luna et al. 2004a), prospective memory (MacKinlay et al., 2003), working memory (Anderson et al., 2001), decision-making (McGivern et al., 2002; Hooper et al. 2004; Luciana et al. 2005) and risk-taking (Gardner and Steinberg,…”
The Elusive Nature of Executive Functions: A Review of our Current Understanding (2007, background): “These authors found that planning skills reach adult levels between the ages of 9 and 13, with performance on the TOL test rather stable during adolescence (a regression to simpler strategies between the ages of 12 and 13 was reported by Anderson et al. 2001a).”
Neural Bases of Cognitive Development (2007, background): “Developmental improvements in executive function may arise as much from the development of such functional integration as from the architectural and physiological development of prefrontal cortex (Anderson et al., 2001; Anderson, Levin, & Jacobs, 2002).”
Automatic and controlled processes and the development of addictive behaviors in adolescents: a review and a model. (2007, background): “Recent research suggests that attainment of ECF begins as early as age 1 and continues well into the second (e.g., Anderson et al., 2001; Luciana et al., 2005; Luciana and Nelson, 1998; Luna and Sweeney, 2004) or even the third (Luna et al., 2004) decade of life.”
Normative Data From the Cantab. I: Development of Executive Function Over the Lifespan (2003, background): “…of gains in the 11–14 year old group, who required the same number of excess moves to complete a problem, but solved significantly more trials than their younger counterparts (Anderson, Anderson, & Lajoie, 1996; Anderson et al., 2001; Ardila & Rosselli, 1994; Krikorian, Bartok, & Gay, 1994).”
Assessment and Development of Executive Function (EF) During Childhood (2002, background): “Developmental regressions have been reported between 11 and 13 years of age, particularly in the areas of self-regulation and strategic decision making (Anderson et al., 1996, 2001).”
