Adolescent Brain Development and Public Policy

Please write anEssay, with thesis and 2 main points, with this following guide questions. Thanks.

  1. A criticism of this position by Fischer et al., who have a different perspective on how public policy should take into account emotional and cognitive development in juveniles.
  2. A rebuttal of the Fischer position by Steinberg et al.

Your specific goal for Paper Assignment 2 is to analyze the arguments in the three papers, construct a coherent argument about the role of studies of cognitive and emotional development in setting public policy guidelines, and support this argument with specific evidence from the papers. A number of different approaches to this topic can satisfy the requirements of this paper assignment. For example, your paper assignment might address:

  • In what circumstances can psychological research on cognitive and emotional development be used to set public policy?
  • When, if ever, should public policy distinguish between cognitive and emotional development and why (or why not)?
  • Whose view of psychological development – Steinberg or Fischer – is better for setting public policy and why?

Use mainly this book as a reference and whatever the writers preferred peer-reviewed sources:
