Insight Into the Teenage Brain: Adriana Galván at TEDxYouth@Caltech
Ғылым және технология
Dr. Adriana Galván is an assistant professor in the Department of Psychology and Brain Research Institute at the University of California, Los Angeles, where she is the Director and Principal Investigator of the Developmental Neuroscience Laboratory. Dr. Galván's expertise is in adolescent brain development. Her research aims to uncover the neurobiology underlying characteristic teenage behavior, such as risk-taking, exploration and thrill-seeking. Through her research, Dr. Galván's goal is to understand the opportunities and vulnerabilities that accompany adolescent brain and behavioral development in order to inform policy, juvenile justice and public health issues that affect youth.
In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)

I saw the same "flaw" in the research that "Godis Withus Vargus" described, but I wonder if the lowering of the adult response tied to money is also attached to their "experience" with money. "HAHAH of HAHAH land" is right, however, although the adults may have more money, they are also more likely to realize to a further extent what is required to gain it...hard work.

It stands to reason that the opposite is true - that fear, self-consciousness, and frustration are also heightened. We've all known talkative children who suddenly become excruciatingly shy or sullen teens, self included. Instead of berating them for it, be aware that it's neurological - but also that it can be counteracted with positive stimulus. Awesome talk.

As a high school coach, this is VERY obvious. I struggle with the logic sometimes of how my players will get energized for rewards for performance in amazing ways on simple things like sugar. But what I would find rewarding is almost compeltely neautral in their eyes. Love the science behind it

As a student athlete currently in high school now that I learn more about the teenage brain it starts to make sense and I realize it more and more but when a coach says “good job” or “well done” it makes me want to do it over and over again better and better so just noticing good behavior and put it under a spotlight will make a big impact on their behavior
Sick of being treated like I'm subhuman.

so amazing!!
Interesting, watching this, then reading the comments below. Apologies for the broad generalization, but there seems as much diversity between older and younger responses as there was in the referred-to research experiment. Please, bottom line: there ARE things going on in the brain during adolescence that were unknown until relatively recently. Please don't deny this. But we are learning all the time. What these changes in the brain MEAN is what is in debate.

Here in 2020 used for school
Apparently I'm supposed to write a review of this video for my assignment, but I can't really say what I really want to say without getting a bad mark so here goes: I am not gonna lie, her introduction made no sense whatsoever. First, she talks about how the adolescent brain is still maturing and developing, which is somehow supposed to aid in gaining independence from parents(?) Then she goes on to talk about how the adolescent brain is very susceptible to rewards, and thus related it to her graph thingy on the slide. At this point, I still don't understand the connection between the data and the gaining independence part and I'm getting more confused by the second. finally, the brain activation graphs confuzzled the hell outta me. Is it just me or her graphs are hella vague and even slightly contradicts what she says(?) yeah idk man this is like a 1/5 for me. I guess i learned where the brain activates in response to rewards but that's about it

Does the teenage brain also have an exaggerated response when things are taken away from them? Teenagers are often regarded as being 'overly dramatic'. I'm a teenager myself and I find that my responses to bad things are blown out of proportion, but it is something that is very hard to control, just as when I get exited about things. I rarely feel neutral.

I am thinking if the adults in the sugar water study had participated in endurance exercise for 3-4 hours prior, that sugar water would have tasted way better to them. Adolescents are often in a caloric deficit/have much higher caloric needs. They would have needed to control for the level of hunger/depletion of glycogen reserves to create proper control for the study. I'm an ultra runner...pretty sure after running for 6 hours I am going to "like" the taste of sugar water FAR MORE than your average sedentary adolescent.

Very insightful! Are there specific ways to make the most of the sensitivity and 'plasticity' of the adolescent brain? Can we harness this wonderful potential of the teenage brain in thoughtful, more systematic ways? Could video games help enhance processing speed, mental flexibility and creativity?

because teenagers like the sugar as a reward, does that stick with them as they get older, and if it does is it more than likely that they will have an addiction to sugar, because you said that the brain remembers the pleasure of the sugar. just wondering.

Fiquei pensando se a conclusão que eles tiraram sobre a diferença de responsividade entre adolescentes e crianças ao dinheiro não foi um pouco enviesada pelo fato de que, muito provavelmente, a importância do dinheiro para crianças e adolescentes é diferente até pelas capacidades cognitivas e entendimento do que representa o dinheiro (por exemplo, pensar muito a longo prazo e em termos de possibilidades e abstrações é algo que uma criança de 7 a 10 anos, se pensarmos pela ideia de fase Operacional Concreta, ainda não tem muito aparato pra fazer)

They just now know that...😳
of course there's a difference in a teenage brain. They still get excited and everything is new to them because they are young. Adults are older we have been there done it and experienced a lot more things. That is a no-brainer. You don't need a study for that.... and I'm sure that includes a lot more activities and rewards and all kinds of other things
