Lawrence Steinberg

Lawrence Steinberg is a renowned psychologist who studies how teenagers develop and make decisions. He focuses on understanding the changes in the adolescent brain, especially areas involved in judgment, impulse control, and risk assessment. His research helps explain why teens sometimes act impulsively and how their brains mature over time. Steinberg’s work informs parents, educators, and policymakers to better support healthy adolescent development, emphasizing that teens are capable of growth and responsible decision-making as their brains continue to develop well into their twenties.
