儿童和青少年决策能力的发展数百年来一直是人们关注的话题。关于青少年决策能力（和道德推理）发展的问题经常出现在少年司法环境、其他法医环境中，有时甚至出现在治疗环境中。本文试图回顾有关被告儿童和青少年决策能力发展的最新、最相关的研究。我们区分决策中的认知与判断，并简要回顾实验室和现实世界条件下的青少年决策。我们回顾了两个不同系统（认知控制系统和社会情感系统）的理论框架，以及潜在相关的神经生物学和心理学发现。讨论了对青少年审判过程的某些方面的影响。版权所有 (c) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
The development of decision-making capacities in children and adolescents has been a topic of interest for hundreds, if not thousands, of years. Questions regarding the development of decision-making capacities (and moral reasoning) of youth frequently arise in juvenile justice settings, other forensic settings, and sometimes in treatment settings. This article attempts to review the latest and most relevant research on the development of decision-making capacities likely to be relevant in children and adolescents who are defendants. We distinguish cognition versus judgment in decision-making and briefly review adolescent decision-making in laboratory and real world conditions. We review a theoretical framework of two different systems, a cognitive-control system and socio-emotional system, and potentially correlated neurobiological and psychological findings. Implications for selected aspects of the juvenile adjudicative process are discussed. Copyright (c) 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
