Neurocognitive Development of Risk Aversion from Early Childhood to Adulthood
Human adults tend to avoid risk. In behavioral economic studies, risk aversion is manifest as a preference for sure gains over uncertain gains. However, children tend to be less averse to risk than adults. Given that many of the brain regions supporting decision-making under risk do not reach maturity until late adolescence or beyond it is possible that mature risk-averse behavior may emerge fr...
متن کاملFrom Risk-Seeking to Risk-Averse: The Development of Economic Risk Preference from Childhood to Adulthood
Adolescence is often described as a period of heightened risk-taking. Adolescents are notorious for impulsivity, emotional volatility, and risky behaviors such as drinking and driving under the influence of alcohol. By contrast, we found that risk-taking declines linearly from childhood to adulthood when individuals make choices over monetary gambles. Further, with age we found increases in the...
متن کاملDevelopment of cortical anatomical properties from early childhood to early adulthood
Human brain matures in temporal and regional heterogeneity, with some areas matured at early adulthood. In this study, the relationship of cortical structural developments between different cortical sheet regions is systematically analyzed using interregional correlation coefficient and network methods. Specifically, 951 longitudinal T1 brain MR images from 445 healthy subjects with ages from 3...
متن کاملDiagnostic transitions from childhood to adolescence to early adulthood.
BACKGROUND Quantifying diagnostic transitions across development is needed to estimate the long-term burden of mental illness. This study estimated patterns of diagnostic transitions from childhood to adolescence and from adolescence to early adulthood. METHODS Patterns of diagnostic transitions were estimated using data from three prospective, longitudinal studies involving close to 20,000 o...
متن کاملTracking of cardiometabolic risk factor clustering from childhood to adulthood.
Cardiometabolic risk factor clustering is predictive of future cardiovascular disease. If clustering of risk factors is a stable characteristic from childhood to adulthood, then intervention in high-risk children may provide an early opportunity to decrease the progression to overt cardiovascular disease outcomes. Thus, the purpose of this paper was to review the evidence for risk factor cluste...
