Mindfulness and Inhibitory Control in Early Adolescence (2012, background): “Early adolescence, roughly between the ages 10 and 14, is a highly transient time, characterized as a period of both opportunity and risk in development (Eccles & Roeser, 2009; Steinberg et al., 2008).”
Neurobiology of the Adolescent Brain and Behavior (2010, positive): “Note: (A) Plot of sensation-seeking and impulsivity as a function of age (adapted from Steinberg et al.(43)).”
Self-regulation and toxic stress: Foundations for understanding self-regulation from an applied developmental perspective (2015, background): “Although neurocognitive plasticity decreases during adulthood, there is evidence that brain maturation of the frontal cortex is not complete until the third decade of life [63].”
FRIENDS WITH MY FUTURE SELF: LONGITUDINAL VIVIDNESS INTERVENTION REDUCES DELINQUENCY† (2015, background): “, 1994), future orientation (Steinberg et al., 2008), and temporal discounting (Frederick, Loewenstein and O’Donoghue, 2003), have even more explicit temporal underpinnings.”
Individual Differences in Risky Decision Making: A Meta‐analysis of Sensation Seeking and Impulsivity with the Balloon Analogue Risk Task (2014, background): “Second, we reduced the variety of personality constructs potentially associated with risk taking by including in this review only studies of sensation seeking and impulsivity, which are commonly believed to influence real-world risk taking (e.g., Steinberg et al., 2008).”
The Dark Side of Personality: Science and Practice in Social, Personality, and Clinical Psychology (2016, positive): “Although research suggests that sensation seeking decreases over the lifespan (Steinberg et al., 2008), it is also likely that the trait is expressed differently across various age ranges.”
Dark Triad personality traits and adolescent cyber-aggression (2015, background): “Other studies as well have found that impulsiveness declines steadily from the age 10 on (Steinberg et al., 2008).”
The dual systems model: Review, reappraisal, and reaffirmation (2015, positive): “(2015), http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.dcn.2015.12.010 equires strategic planning, participants must rearrange objects on egs (either real or depicted on a computer monitor) to produce specific pattern in the fewest possible moves (De Luca et al., 003; Steinberg et al., 2008).”
