Question

Briefly describe brain development that influences the shift in the balance between automatic (emotional) control and deliberate (intelligent) control that extends from adolescence through the emerging adult years

Answer 1

During adolescence, colligation arrangement and myelination within the cortex are significantly evident within the frontal lobes that manage the deliberate actions and systematic thought. At an equivalent time, there's a corresponding decrease in activity within the neural structure (within the frontal lobes), which can facilitate to clarify a gradual reduction in emotional behavior. This shift within the balance between automatic management and deliberate (intelligent) management extends from adolescence through rising adulthood and on the far side. Play the animation and consider the shift within the balance of activity between the neural structure and also the anterior cortex that begins in adolescence.

Answer 2

As with evolutionary development of brain structure, personal development also occurs in a sort of medial to lateral and occipital to frontal fashion. The limbic system develops and matures early in childhood, while the frontal and prefrontal areas develop later. This means that emotional functioning, driven by the limbic system, develops first, and cognitive functioning, driven by the frontal and prefrontal areas, develop later and reach maturity in early adulthood.
