This project aims to develop an innovative framework that models behaviour, brain function and brain structure to characterise developmental trajectories of cognitive control in typically-developing young people, and to test the model’s ability to predict psychosocial outcomes. Cognitive control processes are supported by complex frontal brain networks that develop well into adulthood. Poor cognitive control is linked to negative psychosocial outcomes (e.g. substance use, high-risk behaviours). This work is expected to inform evidence-based programmes that identify young people at risk and develop targeted training strategies to improve psychosocial outcomes.

该项目旨在开发一个创新框架，模拟行为，大脑功能和大脑结构，以模拟典型发育中的年轻人的认知控制发展轨迹，并测试模型预测心理社会结果的能力。认知控制过程由复杂的额叶脑网络支持，这些网络在成年后发育良好。认知控制能力差与消极的心理社会后果有关（例如，使用药物、高风险行为）。预计这项工作将为循证方案提供信息，这些方案将查明风险青年，并制定有针对性的培训战略，以改善心理社会结果。
