Document Summary
Three developments in adolescence: executive functioning, meta cognition, abstract reasoning. Growth in executive functioning: tasks involved in goal directed tasks and problem solving, especially any tasks that requires, planning, organization, time management, flexible thinking. Inhibitory control: attentional management, error correction, memory skills, planning, meta cognition. Systematic problem solving: because they can consider many alternatives and possibilities, adolescents are highly effective planners and problem solvers. Planful and systematic investigation: aware of co varying factors, reflective abstraction, rearrange and rethink information already acquired leading to new conclusions through contemplation. Metacognition: the ability to think about our own mind, what we know, and the quality, depth, and relevance of our knowledge. Illusion of knowledge: young children overestimate their abilities, assuming they know more than you actually do, adults do too sometimes. Improvements in source monitoring: source monitoring= keeping track of where new information comes from, (cid:862)ho(cid:449) i lear(cid:374)ed so(cid:373)ethi(cid:374)g(cid:863, allows us to distinguish semantic from episodic knowledge for example.
