Risk, Cognitive Control, and Adolescence. Challenging the Dual Systems Model.

Year: 2017

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: According to the dual systems model, adolescence is a period\nof imbalance between cognitive and motivational systems that\nresults in increased tendency towards risk. In the study, we\ninvestigated the effects of rewards on risk-taking and\ncognitive control in 90 adolescents (13-16) and 96 adults (18-\n35). Our results challenge the assumptions of the model as we\nobserved that rewards lead adolescents to more conservative\ndecisions in one of the risk tasks used in the study. We also\nobserved that in cognitive control tasks, rewards influenced\nreaction latencies, but not the efficiency of control processes.
