Adolescent Development

What the collection covers

The resources on this page look at adolescence from several angles. A mind map titled Adolescence covers physical development, including growth patterns, the brain, sexual maturation and the timing of puberty. Another mind map with the same title outlines society and the adolescent alongside physical changes.

The flashcard deck Adolescent development & development across cultures includes cards on adolescence as a biological period and on adolescent egocentrism. The slide set Adolescent covers physical and cognitive development.

Where to start

Start with the Adolescence mind map that covers physical development. Follow its branches from growth patterns to sexual maturation and the timing of puberty. Then use the flashcard deck on adolescent development and development across cultures to study its questions about adolescence and egocentrism.

For another perspective, the Adolescence Development mind map brings together perceptions, puberty, needs and experiences. Comparing its branches with the physical development map can help you see how the resources approach the topic.

Use a quiz with a mind map

Adolescence to Maturity asks about historical views of adolescence. Before taking it, look at the mind map on the transition from puberty to adulthood, which also introduces historical views. Afterward, return to the map and compare its material with the questions you found difficult.

The resources were made by GoConqr users, so each one offers its own selection of material. A map can provide an overview, while a quiz gives you questions to work through.

Place the topic in the unit

Adolescent Development is one section of Developmental Psychology: Foundations and Early Development in Psychology. Use the topic collection as a place to study adolescence within that unit, moving between maps, cards and questions as needed.

Try the historical-views quiz, then return to a mind map to review the material.
