Adolescence is a period of heightened risk-taking. Our field has focused heavily on understanding adolescent risk-taking behavior –yet, a sizeable proportion of adolescents may tend to avoid risks in some contexts. This talk will discuss ongoing programmatic research on risk avoidance in youth. Using computational modeling, high density EEG and fMRI, Dr. Crowley will discuss his current work examining the brain and behavior correlates of risk avoidance with links to substance use and anxiety.
