"What's Wrong With the Teenage Mind?" by Alison Gopnik introduces the idea that teenage minds aren't just bound to being insufficiently developed, but are simply not taught well enough to do certain tasks via informal apprenticeship.
"What's Wrong With the Teenage Mind?" by Alison Gopnik didn't really spark a "hotspot" because this wasn't very intriguing since the author of this paper neither agreed or disagreed or cared. Explaining why teens act the way they do is good to know, however, this also adds excuses for such behavior. It is good though that this article states that teens can overcome this indevelopement by having greater informal education like apprenticeship "Take Your Kid to Work Day" should be more than once a year so that kids truly can learn more about the real world. Kids used to start inturnships at the age of seven and now they are starting at around 22. What this article speaks is something not very needed to observe. All these problems can be overcome when a teen takes their normally subconscious actions into their conscious. This is a choice. If a teen begins to think their actions through consciously, they won't have to worry about an undeveloped frontal lobe or other things such as that.
