Document Summary
Adolescence is often a period of especially heightened vulnerability as a consequence of potential disjunctions between developing brain, behavioral and cognitive systems that mature along different timetables and under the control of both common and independent biological processes. Taken together, these developments reinforce the emerging understanding of adolescence as a critical or sensitive period for a reorganization of regulatory systems, a reorganization that is fraught with both risks and opportunities. Adolescents is a period where people have higher vulnerability Adolescents are vulnerable because they have gaps between their cognition, behavior, & emotion. This occurs before the frontal lobes are matured, suggesting higher vulnerability due to the time gap.
