Guest guest Posted March 11, 2008 Report Share Posted March 11, 2008 I am reading The Brain That Changes Itself and just ran across a section that talks about how scientists are discovering that adolescents do most of their processing in the temporal lobes rather than the frontal lobes, and that the shift to using the frontal lobes doesn't happen until the mid-20s. Interesting, huh? I can see how this dovetails with the knowledge that the frontal region isn't fully developed in many people until the early 20s, but I wonder what that means in terms of training young people. Does this mean that if we see excessive slow waves in front, we perhaps should consider training a little further back? Has there been any research on this? I'm very new to all this still, but I thought that training in the temporals could alter affect. Perhaps this isn't as true for those under 25?
