The child's brain in the digital age
How do we as parents and carers meet the challenge that adolescents are more «at risk» of succumbing to addictions of various kinds? Prof Dr Lutz Jäncke provides information. You can watch his entire lecture as a video here.
The scientific work of the Professor of Neuropsychology at the University of Zurich is among the one per cent of the most frequently cited works worldwide. Lutz Jäncke conducts research in the field of functional neuroanatomy, focussing in particular on cortical plasticity in connection with learning.
Lecture from 01/06/2021 (1:06:02 h): The forebrain controls important mental functions such as attention, self-discipline and working memory. Due to its late maturation, these mental functions also mature late and only attain the range and quality of function seen in adults after puberty. What consequences does this have for learning? And how do we meet the challenge that adolescents are more at risk of developing addictions?
