Behavioral and Neural Pathways Supporting the Development of Prosocial and Risk‐Taking Behavior Across Adolescence

Child Development, Journal Year: 2019, Volume and Issue: 91(3)

Published: Aug. 27, 2019

This study tested the pathways supporting adolescent development of prosocial and rebellious behavior. Self‐report structural brain data were obtained in a three‐wave, longitudinal neuroimaging (8–29 years, N = 210 at Wave 3). First, behavior assessed 3 positively correlated. Perspective taking intention to comfort uniquely predicted behavior, whereas fun seeking (current levels changes) both behaviors. These changes accompanied by developmental declines nucleus accumbens medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC) volumes, but only faster decline MPFC (faster maturity) related less findings point toward possible differential susceptibility marker, seeking, as predictor outcomes.

Dissociable effects of perceived control on reward-related neural dynamics under risk and ambiguity

NeuroImage, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 121067 - 121067

Perceived control plays a crucial role in risk-taking behavior, but its neural effect on reward dynamics risky and ambiguous decision making remains unclear. Here, we addressed this issue by measuring participants' (N = 40) EEG activity while they were performing wheel-of-fortune task. Participants either made choices themselves (a high condition) or followed the computer's choice low under contexts. Behavioral rating data showed stronger compared to context. In parallel, found an of perceived evaluation (indexed cue-P3) not However, was more pronounced during feedback anticipation stimulus-preceding negativity) outcome appraisal delta oscillation) context Together, our findings suggest that experiencing alters uncertain making, with dissociable effects between risk ambiguity.

Multiple pathways of risk taking in adolescence

Developmental Review, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 62, P. 100996 - 100996

In this review, we describe multiple pathways that may lead to risk-taking in adolescence. We review behavioral and neuroimaging studies showing heightened tendencies associated neural reward activity mid late adolescence, but evidence points risk taking as highly context sample dependent. Here, suggest individual differences, specifically drive, be a differential susceptibility factor shows sensitivity adolescents makes some more sensitive their environment.

Developmental perspectives on risky and impulsive choice

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Journal Year: 2018, Volume and Issue: 374(1766), P. 20180133 - 20180133

Published: Dec. 31, 2018

Epidemiological data suggest that risk taking in the real world increases from childhood into adolescence and declines adulthood. However, developmental patterns of behaviour laboratory assays impulsive choice are inconsistent. In this article, we review a growing literature using behavioural economic approaches to understand changes impulsivity. We present findings have begun elucidate both cognitive neural processes contribute risky choice, as well how age-related these neurocognitive give rise shifts behaviour. highlight variability task parameters can be used identify specific aspects decision contexts may differentially influence across development.

Uncertainty deconstructed: conceptual analysis and state-of-the-art review of the ERP correlates of risk and ambiguity in decision-making

Cognitive Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 23(3), P. 522 - 542

Published: May 12, 2023

Risk and uncertainty are central concepts of decision neuroscience. However, a comprehensive review the literature shows that most studies define risk in an unclear fashion or use both terms interchangeably, which hinders integration existing findings. We suggest as umbrella term comprises scenarios characterized by outcome variance where relevant information about type likelihood outcomes may be somewhat unavailable (ambiguity) is known (risk).These conceptual issues problematic for on temporal neurodynamics decision-making under ambiguity, because they lead to heterogeneity task design interpretation results. To assess this problem, we conducted state-of-the-art ERP ambiguity decision-making. By employing above definitions 16 reviewed studies, our results that: (a) research has focused more than processing; (b) assessing often implemented descriptive-based paradigms, whereas processing equally descriptive- experience-based tasks; (c) link increased frontal negativities (e.g., N2, N400) reduced parietal positivities P2, P3); (d) P3 amplitudes LPC component; (e) seem related with cognitive control, conflict monitoring, demand; (f) further improved tasks needed dissociate processing.

Research Review: The neuroscience of emerging adulthood – reward, ambiguity, and social support as building blocks of mental health

Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 64(7), P. 989 - 997

Published: March 6, 2023

Background The interval between adolescence and adulthood, ‘emerging adulthood’ (EA), lays the foundation for lifelong health well‐being. To date, there exist little empirical data – particularly in neurobiological domain to establish markers of risk resilience during transition adulthood. This gap literature is concerning given numerous forms psychiatric illness that emerge or worsen this period. Methods In review, we focus on two strands research with distinct importance EA: reward sensitivity, tolerance ambiguity. We begin by placing these domains a framework considers unique developmental goals EA then synthesize emerging how develop EA. consider their role common mental problems occur as well social support may moderate outcomes. Finally, offer recommendations advancing understand process outcomes Findings conclusions Few longitudinal studies specifically address adult development milestones characterize interval.

Risk‐taking in the human brain: An activation likelihood estimation meta‐analysis of the balloon analog risk task (BART)

Human Brain Mapping, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 43(18), P. 5643 - 5657

Published: Aug. 18, 2022

The Balloon Analog Risk Task (BART) is increasingly used to assess risk-taking behavior and brain function. However, the networks underlying during BART its reliability remain controversial. Here, we combined activation likelihood estimation (ALE) meta-analysis with both task-based task-free functional connectivity (FC) analysis quantitatively synthesize involved in BART, compared differences between adults adolescents studies. Based on 22 pooled publications, ALE revealed multiple regions reward network, salience executive control network BART. Compared adult risk-taking, adolescent showed greater insula, putamen, prefrontal regions. combination of meta-analytic modeling FC further confirmed involvement reward, salience, cognitive These findings demonstrate core for support utility future neuroimaging developmental research.

Critical tests of fuzzy trace theory in brain and behavior: uncertainty across time, probability, and development

Cognitive Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 23(3), P. 746 - 772

Uncertainty permeates decisions from the trivial to profound. Integrating brain and behavioral evidence, we discuss how probabilistic (varied outcomes) temporal (delayed uncertainty differ across age individuals; critical tests adjudicate between theories of (prospect theory fuzzy-trace theory); these mechanisms might be represented in brain. The same categorical gist representations gains losses account for choices eye-tracking data both value-allocation (add money gambles) risky-choice tasks, disconfirming prospect confirming predictions theory. analysis is extended delay discounting disambiguated choices, explaining hidden-zero effects that similarly turn on distinctions some gain no gain, certain uncertain loss, now later. Bold activation implicates dorsolateral prefrontal posterior parietal cortices strategies are not just one tool a grab-bag cognitive options but rather general systematically predict behaviors many different tasks involving uncertainty. High valuation (e.g., ventral striatum; ventromedial cortex) low executive control lateral contribute risky impatient especially youth. However, striatum supports reward-maximizing adulthood. Indeed, processing becomes less "rational" sense maximizing more noncompensatory (eye movements indicate fewer tradeoffs) as development progresses adolescence adulthood, predicted.
