Miscommunication with peers and adults—they miss subtle social cues, misinterpret expectations, and misread facial expressions. 4. Increased risk-taking; inappropriate actions not as inhibited as in adults Adolescence is generally a period of increased impulsivity and risk-taking behaviour, but some teens might be especially prone to engage in such behaviours. Galvan et al. (2007 )

- One thing that happens in the brain when we're going to get involved in any activity or initiate any activity is, we either have to decide what the consequences of that behavior are, or we're just going to behave impulsively. And to appreciate what the consequences of a behavior are, you have to really think through what the potential outcomes of a behavior are. I think the frontal lobe, that part of the executive region that we studied, is not always functioning fully in teenagers; or least our data suggests that perhaps it's not.That would suggest that therefore teenagers aren't thinking through what the consequences of their behaviors are, which would lead us to believe that they'd be more impulsive, because they're not going to be so worried about whether or not what they're doing has a negative consequence. ...Our findings suggest that what is coming into the brain, how it's being organized, and then ultimately the response -- all three of those may be different in our adolescents. So that attitude may be part of that, or may be related to that. But it's not simply a matter of teenagers feeling like they don't want to do something, or that they're just going to give you a hard time. ...
