Lesson 8   It’s Up to You

 

How Teens Make Decisions

 

Host: Hello, everyone! Welcome to The Dr. Brain Show. I’m your host, Joseph Emerson. Can you think back to a time when a friend upset you? Let’s imagine (which/that) you decided (writing/to write) an angry message to that friend. You say some harsh things (which/that) you normally wouldn’t say. You’re so angry ______ you don’t care. When you’re about to (push/pushing) “send,” you think about (that/whether) it’s a good idea. Before you know it, you’ve sent the message anyway. Teens are (more likely/as likely) to make these types of decisions (as/than) adults. With the help of our guest, we’ll learn ________ teens tend to act before thinking everything through. Now, here’s our guest for tonight, Dr. Jenny Clarkson! Thank you for joining us, doctor!

 

 

Dr. C: Thank you for having me, Joseph!

 

Host: Dr. Clarkson, could you first (speak/talk/say/tell) us about ________ we make decisions?

 

Dr. C: Sure. (It/That) seems like we make decisions almost (immediate/immediately), but our brain actually has to go through several (step/steps) before deciding anything. Neurons, ________ are special brain cells, (make/makes) up different structures in our brains. These structures send signals to each other. After the structures finish (evaluating/to evaluate) all the signals, they will send out a response (which/that) will tell our body (what/how) to do.

 

Host: I see. Does this process happen exactly the same way in everyone’s brain?

 

Dr. C: People basically go through the same decision-making process, but there is (much/a slight) difference between teens and adults. Scientists ______ _____ think (what/that) the brain was done growing ____ _____ _______ you turned 12 since the brain (reaches reaches to) its maximum size around that age. ____________, studies show ______ some parts of the brain continue (developing/to develop) until the early twenties. That means teens’ brains are still (maturing/mature) and not completely (developing/developed). This may be _______ teens seem to make (hard/risky) decisions.

 

Host: Very interesting! Please tell us more about the relationship __________ their brains and their decision-making.

 

Dr. C: Well, the region (what/that) controls emotions (mature/matures) faster than the part of the brain (which/that) helps you (think/thinks) ahead and (measure/measures) risk. Teens (so/therefore) rely on it heavily, _______ means they (influence/are influenced) more by feelings and instincts (that/than) by ________ when making decisions. _____ _______ _______, teens are usually not (inclining/inclined) to consider all the (causes/consequences) of their actions, so they make choices (whether/that) they end up regretting.

 

Host: So _______ you’re saying is teens are likely to make choices (basing/based) on their feelings since their brains are not (full/fully) developed.

 

Dr. C: That’s right. __________, this is not the whole story. Teens’ brains are also going through other important changes. Their brains are (constant/constantly) identifying and (remove/removing) any weak connections between neurons. ______ _________, if teens aren’t reading, doing experiments, or (solve/solving) problems, then the brain will get rid of the connections (where/that) are related to those activities. (Because/Once) those are gone, their brains will put more energy into making other connections (stronger/weaker).

 

Host: So, do you mean ______ the activities ________ teens are (involving/involved) in can shape the way their brains develop?

 

Dr. C: (Exact/Exactly). This is ______ the types of activities teens choose to participate in _____ especially important. If a teen decides to play sports or (learn/learns) an instrument, then the brain will (strength/strengthen) those connections. _____ _____ _______ ________, if he or she chooses to surf the Internet or (play/plays) online games all day long, then those connections will (weaken/survive) instead. _____ _______ teens work at building good habits, ______ _________ those connections in their brains will be.

 

Host: I see. Do you have any final comments for our viewers?

 

Dr. C: If we view the adolescent period as (mere/merely) a process of becoming mature, then it’s easy to dismiss it as a passing phase. ___________, we shouldn’t look at the changes (which/that) occur in teens’ brains only in terms of maturity. Adolescence is also a period _______ significant changes happen in the brain that (help/helps) new abilities appear. Therefore, adolescence is ______ a stage to simply get through, ______ an important stage in people’s lives ________ they can develop many qualities and abilities, and shape their future.

 

Host: Thank you for your insight, Dr. Clarkson! We hope the information you’ve shared will help our viewers at home (make/makes) more (effective/reasonable) choices in the future. That’s it for The Dr. Brain Show tonight. Good night, everyone!
