+HVallejo B. more likely it means she almost certainly lacks the neurocognitive capacity to figure it out on her own. What Blakemore has done is to provide scaffolding (look up Lev Vygotsky) to enable her to understand.

I'm almost 14 years old. I've only dealt with teenagers just like me being demonized for crap we can't physically or mentally control. Its refreshing to finally see someone understand how we feel and take the scientific side and acknowledge it's not really completely our fault we act this way.

I noticed that too. She was definitely educated proper good and that.

I am so glad that she provided the Shakespeare quotes. Lately, I've been hearing more and more about the teenage/adolescent years being a recent/made up western concept. Though our society does seem to devalue what teenagers are capable of, there is now proof that some very specific developments are happening during that time in life. It's a real stage that requires unique guidance & attention. Excellent talk.

I was required to watch this video as part of my training to become a foster parent. It was really interesting and quite entertaining. Thank you!!

2023 and this short video is an excellent resource for all adults. Adults, please offer teens and young adults compassion instead of ridicule, understanding instead of harsh criticism, guidance instead annoyance. Simply put; a farmer doesn't stomp and injure the crop that he's trying to grow and then wonder why the crop isn't growing or responding properly..but adults do just that to young children and teens daily

Thank you so much for this. There's so much out there on childhood brain development but finding stuff on adolescent development is surprisingly much harder. It's always surface level stuff that just raises more questions than it answers

i'm 50 and i feel like i am a teenager again with just one glimpse of her! what a crush out of the blue!

Excellent, informative for teachers like myself. Thank you.

It's heightened self awareness. If we understand that kids are going through this period and what is happening to them, we can tap into their self consciousness and help them learn more about what it is that is happening to them and prevent misunderstandings that typically lead them to all the crazy behavior. This is when they want to know and experience more than ever. The heightened activity must be harnessed for good or it will entrench negative behaviors.

In order to establish a healthy and enriching environment for the developing adolescent brain, perhaps the implementation of awareness-based classes or workshops may assist all those whom interact with adolescents. There are several approaches one can put into use with respect to such a natural occurrence of human behavior, however, the gradual development of a human being's social (and individual) connectivity takes time - maturation is a process which requires effort and constant attention. Thus, adolescents will continue to express their typical behavior but it can be in more moderate and tolerant ways. Simply, culture and its many systems (i.e. educational, athletic) may need to emphasize the importance of having adolescents (or even children, if possible) train their malleable brains to build a more intimate relationship with self-awareness, whether through meditation or other mindfulness-based exercises.

12:19 (for school)

This video explains the nature of a great many KZread commenters. According to her definition, most people here don't seem to have left adolescence.

Really valuable content and so fantastic she is studying this and challenging perceptions of adolescent behavior. It is definitely the most high-speed nervous speaker ted talk I have ever seen though, the type where you feel like you need to take a breath after because they didn't breathe the whole time.

Can someone help me connect her ideas? Like how gray matter declines during adolescence, and how good people are at reading social expressions and interactions and then her behavioral studies. What do you think the main point that she is trying to get at with these?

Teenagers tend to have different mental strategies in social communication or decision just like what she flashed in the screen the picture of a play (sport) that connects what she said or state about the ultimatic social emotional response and also how good we are in reading person's feeling. The 3 person wearing yellow is somewhat different in expressions.

THANK YOU

Fascinating. would like to show this to my teenage students but my guess is that they wouldnt be able to concentrate long enough to understand it!

Blakemore's lecture reminds me of Ken Robinson's speech at TED, on the need to restructure our education system around creativity, as much as we emphasis math, science and language. While Dr. Robinson provides the social and economic basis for why this must be done, Dr. Blakemore provides the scientific basis of why the adolescent brain thrives particularly well in an environment which fosters creativity. For those who haven't seen Robinson's popular lecture on TED: watch?v=iG9CE55wbtY

Blakemore puts my teaching role of 16-24 year-olds into perspective. Of course, it doesn't hurt that she's brilliant AND lovely.

Very Informative! Thank you

Ms Blakemore's presentation is excellent. She is one of the most articulate and clear speakers. She explained this complex subject in such interesting and dynamic language. And such beautiful and expressionate eyes.

Excelente! Obrigada por compartilhar estes conhecimentos!

I think Teenagers are really good at seeking out new experiences, they seeking out risks and they recognizing social or being sensitive to social and emotional information.

Looking forward to this one!

Great talk, thank you, although not surprised, it actually makes sense.

Awwwwww - Hugs for my teenage self!

I always thought that I was the most motivated learner when I was in my teenage, now I know why! Also, 40% of teenagers do not have access to secondary educaiton, that number seems alarming.

Is this why the teaching styles of Stand and Deliver works so well?

School of life makes wise Yes, indeed, education can have a constructive influence on the youngster. But it's not that easy! Brains belong to individuals with their special speed of working and ripening. So differ 'lark-learning-types' from 'owl-learning-types', extraverted learners differ from introverted et cetera. And quite often the long schooling periods prevent the young from getting mature, because schools don't deliver the hard knocks insensitive persons need urgently. Role changing games are not new, and of course they are good training. When that bright girl talks about her grandparents, she seems not to be aware, that reduced schooling is a good thing to learn life. Would have Shakespeare become Shakespeare hanging out in schools and universities?

Hello ma’am. I’m planning on becoming a psychology major, but tbh it’s very tough. I need your help.

On a certain level, we have a drug store in our brain, the neurochemicals that show up in flow: so dopamine, norepinephrine, anandamide, endorphins, and serotonin. If you were to try to cocktail the street drug version of that, right, you're trying to blend like heroin and speed and coke and acid and weed- and point is, you can't do it. It turns out the brain can cocktail all of 'em at once, which is why people will prefer flow to almost any experience on Earth. It's our favorite experience. It's the most addictive experience on Earth. Why? 'Cause it cocktails five or six of the largest pleasure drugs the brain can produce. We're all capable of so much more than we know. That is a commonality across the board. And one of the big reasons is we're all hardwired for flow, and flow is a massive amplification of what's possible for ourselves.

Amazing. Such a good video

Very informative. Thank you for brain research!

Amazing !!

In some cultures, they have no knowledge of a teenage rebellious stage, as in, it does not occur.

What portion of those years are spent hunting and warring and coupling?

Adolescence is a time of considerable development at the level of behavior, cognition and the brain. What does Dr. Sarah-Jayne Blakemore have to say about the social brain in adolescence?

I also think these experiments are somewhat "not thought out".

find it interesting that the identified pre-frontal cortex highlighted @ 6:07 is shaded indigo. how convenient.

Nobody gunna see this but if u did what did u find the most compelling point? Why?

This video suits my research essay about the biological development of the adolescent brain and analysis of how the adolescent interpret communication obscurely when an adult speaks with one. (If anyone has a better thesis for my essay. Feel free to correct and adjust. It will benefit both of us. )):)

People often talk about the reward circuitry of the brain as a sort of seedy drug dealer that wants to wreck your life, but they fail to take into account the fact that it's the personality that's shaping what the brain reacts favorably to, not the other way around. What adolescents often lack is clear reasons and methods to exert better control over their own thoughts and feelings.

Why do you find his right suspicious?

Interesting.

i have to suspect your right, and those that do still resist are probably not around to talk about it.

when did they conducted the research?

LOL- love it when "hard" science backs up something sociologists and psychologists have known for years.

Thinking isn't bad; my problem with it is that it blinds us to major problems in our society.

its very true though

What the synopsis of your book Inventing Ourselves . I want to buy this book. Is it for the teenager or for adults/parents?

Well unless they told me that the other guy had no idea about the occluded objects, I'd simply assume he, being the director, was aware of them and follow the instructions as given. If the test is ambiguous as to what it wants, even after careful thought, it's no wonder the failure rate stays at 50%. It's just not a fair test, when the "wrong" answer seems right, even in hindsight.

those cultures must be profoundly different from our "western" culture. The oldest quote about rebellious youth I'm aware of comes from Ur in ancient Mesopotamia, 2000BC and has been repeated over and over in ancient Greece, ancient Rome, medieval Europe, etc. etc.

think its best that we assume that if education employs the 'misdirection approach' (that's what i am calling it), then that approach is "incorrect"; in other words, 'results' would improve if this is avoided in teaching, and only used in assessment (if at all).

If you look at other research, especially developmental psychology, it addresses this. According to the data, not every adult develops past the teen stage, so even though they are physically adult they remain mental and emotional teenagers.

I see your point. But I know of experiments similar to this where they control for these things (e.g. implying that the director hasn't seen the scene before). Also, there are experiments with different set-ups that actually show that adults are way more capable (results > the %50 here) of taking others' perspectives into account (even when not directly told to do so) than teenagers. Maybe she should have elaborated on the set-up a bit more or used other examples of such experiments.
