Furstenberg, The Prevention Researcher, April 2010Today, young people are transitioning to adulthood later in life than they were in the 1960s and 1970s.

The advantages and disadvantages of reliance on intuitive decision making and the difficulties adolescents must overcome in overriding intuitive processing with analytic processing are featured.Unit 2: Developmental Changes of Adolescents: Physical, Cognitive, and SocialUnit Overview6.
