Teenagers are stronger and more resilient than children, yet their mortality rate nearly doubles during adolescence. This contradiction has puzzled scientists and parents alike. One common explanation is that teenagers are simply reckless or lack good judgment. However, studies show that teenagers are about as capable as adults at recognizing the risks of dangerous behavior.
If teenagers understand risks, why are they still more likely to engage in harmful or impulsive actions?
If teenagers understand risks, why are they still more likely to engage in harmful or impulsive actions?
Similar patterns of adolescent behavior across species suggest that such changes are more strongly influenced by natural factors than by environment.: True
Teenagers’ risk assessment ability is significantly lower than that of children when evaluating the consequences of their actions.: Not True
Although children are physically weaker and more susceptible to disease than teenagers, their mortality rate is roughly half that of adolescents.: True

All of the following statements are supported by the information provided EXCEPT:
| Teenagers tend to act on short-term emotional impulses even when they are aware of potential risks. | |
| The brain’s reward system is especially active during adolescence, leading to an increased tendency for impulsive decisions. | |
| Weakened impulse control caused by external or inherited factors can increase the likelihood of mental health issues in teenagers. | |
| The cognitive control network is only active once individuals reach adulthood. | |
| Adolescent rats demonstrate greater motivation for rewards than rats at other life stages. |

Official Solution:
Similar patterns of adolescent behavior across species suggest that such changes are more strongly influenced by natural factors than by environment.
• Tab 2 states that adolescent rats display behaviors similar to those of human teenagers, and it concludes that such consistent patterns across species indicate the changes are rooted more in biological and genetic factors than in social or cultural ones. Thus, this statement is true.
Teenagers’ risk assessment ability is significantly lower than that of children when evaluating the consequences of their actions.
• Tab 1 states that teenagers are about as capable as adults at recognizing risks, and it does not suggest that children surpass teenagers in this ability. Thus, this statement is not true.
Although children are physically weaker and more susceptible to disease than teenagers, their mortality rate is roughly half that of adolescents.
• Tab 1 states that teenagers are stronger and more resilient than children, yet their mortality rate nearly doubles during adolescence. Thus, this statement is true.
Correct answer:

Teenagers’ risk assessment ability is significantly lower than that of children when evaluating the consequences of their actions. "Not True"
Although children are physically weaker and more susceptible to disease than teenagers, their mortality rate is roughly half that of adolescents. "True"

The reward system and the cognitive control network do not follow the same developmental pattern over time in humans.
• Tab 3 states that the brain’s reward system is especially active during adolescence, while the cognitive control network develops gradually and becomes more efficient with age. Since these two systems follow different trajectories, this statement can be inferred.
Psychological disorders in teenagers are primarily caused by weak cognitive control.
• Tab 3 states that weakened cognitive control may contribute to psychological disorders in some teenagers, but it does not identify it as the primary cause. Thus, this statement cannot be inferred.
The extent of imbalance between the reward system and the cognitive control network during adolescence is uniform between genders.
• None of the tabs mention any differences or similarities between genders in the development of the reward system or the cognitive control network. Since the extent of this imbalance is never discussed in relation to gender, this statement cannot be inferred.
