青少年大脑发育的科学应该为公共政策提供信息吗？
作者：
L. Steinberg
在讨论青少年神经科学在制定影响年轻人的公共政策中的应用时，造成混乱的一个因素是三个非常不同的问题的模糊不清，这些问题需要分开：（a）科学对青少年大脑发育的作用和作用;（B）神经科学对理解青少年行为的作用和作用;以及（c）这些影响对公共政策有何启示。在这篇文章中，作者认为，我们对青少年大脑发育有很多了解，这些知识实际上有助于我们对青少年行为的理解，神经科学和行为科学一样，可以为政策讨论提供有用的信息。然而，他警告说，非专家可能会受到神经科学证据的过度影响，因此应该特别小心地提出这些证据。
One factor that has contributed to confusion in discussions of the use of adolescent neuroscience in the development of public policies affecting young people is a blurring of three very different issues that need to be separated: (a) what science does and does not say about brain development in adolescence; (b) what neuroscience does and does not imply for the understanding of adolescent behavior; and (c) what these implications suggest for public policy. In this article, the author argues that a good deal is known about adolescent brain development, that this knowledge has in fact been useful in shaping our understanding of adolescent behavior, and that neuroscience, like behavioral science, can usefully inform policy discussions. He cautions, however, that nonexperts may be unduly swayed by neuroscience evidence and thus that such evidence should be presented with special care.
