IUB Adolescence As Chutes and Ladders Paper

Overview

you'll pull out a sheet of paper (or two or three) and create a Chutes & Ladders style map of the main changes that occur during adolescence.  Here's what to have on your map, including at least 10 main changes & their descriptions:  

1. Include descriptions of 3-4  developmental changes in the adolescent brain (like with the neurons, myelination, structural changes involving the corpus callous, the prefrontal cortex, the limbic systems and the amygdala, etc.).  
2. Include descriptions of 6-7 types of cognitive changes that occur in the adolescent brain (like elaborating on the formal and post formal stages of cognitive development, reflective & pragmatic thinking, reflective & relativistic thinking, cognition & emotion, wisdom, processing speed, attention, memory, executive function, cognitive control, decision-making, critical thinking, creative thinking, etc.).
3. Include a description of social cognition that occurs in adolescence (adolescent egocentrism).
