Why Do Teenagers Break Rules ?
This is called the 'theory of mind', the ability to infer another individual's prospective whether, intellectual, emotional or visual, only develop with age.
For their study the researchers made the kids watch a puppet show, 'Sally and Anne' playing. The puppets played with the marbles and placed them in a box. After Anne left, Sally grabbed the marbles, played with them and placed them in a bag instead.
The researchers quizzed the children about where will Anne look for the marbles. "Before four, kids say she''s going to look in the bag, but after four they know she has a false belief," New Scientist quoted Iroise Dumontheil, a cognitive neuroscientist at University College London, UK, who led the new study.
Brain scans reveal that the teenage brains toil harder when trying to infer the outlook of others. The scientists also added that the brain's region responsible for theory of mind, the medial prefrontal cortex, develops through adolescence.
To find out if there was any behavioral results to biological changes, children, teenagers, adolescents and adults were tested on their ability to infer a different individual's prospective on a computer game. Volunteers- 179 females ranging in age from 7 to 27 - saw a bookshelf with a variety of different sized balls and other objects on four different rows.
Few of the objects sit in front of opaque backgrounds, obscured to someone standing on the other side of the shelf, while some sit in front of a see-through background. Participants were asked to adopt the perspective of a man standing on the other side of the shelf and move the small ball to the left, using a mouse. In a typical test, a golf ball and tennis ball are both visible to the participant, but the golf ball is obscured from the point of view of the observer.
The
correct
response,
then,
is
to
move
the
tennis
ball.
The
results
showed
that
kids
under
10
years
of
age
moved
the
incorrect
ball
about
three-quarters
of
the
trials,
children
aged
10
to
13
scored
better,
where
as
the
teens
got
the
answer
wrong
on
two-third
of
the
trial.
The
adults
scored
a
decent
50-50.
