概要 Adolescent brains are highly impressionable. Why is this? How has this contributed to our evolutionary success? And how is this related to what teachers can do with their students outside the classroom? To answer these questions, I first draw on research findings to explain why adolescents are strongly attracted to novelty and why the reinforcing pleasure they derive from new and exciting experiences is so powerful. Next, I share a personal story to illustrate how vivid adolescent impressions have changed my brain and the course of my life, and then reflect on the implications of adolescent impressionability for us as a species and in our adult roles as teachers, guardians, and parents.
