Explain the process of myelination and how it impacts a teen driver. - Answer One of the last
developments in the nervous system is the insulation of the nerves to make information travel faster
through them. During teen years, the nerves connecting the areas of the brain that control
impulsiveness, process good judgment, and regulate emotion are finally insulated for faster
transmissions. Those nerves that do not yet have the insulation coating have a definite influence on the
driving skills of the adolescent or teen. As a result, their abilities to maintain full attention, recognize
potential dangers, evaluate risky situations, and make good decisions are challenged.
Explain the "pruning" process and how it impacts new drivers. - Answer They found that the judgment
and control center of the brain has a rapid growth spurt around age 10. Starting at age 12, the extra
nerve connections begin dying off. The nerves that are used remain in use. The nerves that are not used
are lost. This apparently allows the brain to become more efficient at the skills and routines that the
body will actually use, without wasting space for what is unused. Researchers believe that teens who
have not completed the pruning process simply do not have the brainpower to manage all of the
available neural pathways and manage multiple thoughts, critical memories, and emotions well enough
to make good decisions.
