Why do adolescents feel emotionally charged before they have self-regulation and decision-making abilities?
What will be an ideal response?
The maturation of the prefrontal cortex, which is associated with executive functions including decision-making, lags behind the development of the limbic system, which is responsible for emotional arousal. Until maturation of the prefrontal cortex catches up to the limbic system, adolescents feel emotionally charged before they have corresponding self-regulation and decision-making abilities.
