In this Episode Dr. Jen talks about the importance of working with the "adolescent" brain and not against it, teaching us that we can't change the "adolescent" brain, but can work with it to help young people make smarter choices. Dr. Jen introduces the concept of hot cognition and discusses strategies to use "context" to keep young people safe on the road. Using what we know about neuroscience, we can provide solutions to the "problem" of young drivers. 

Road Ready Chapter One is explained by Dr Jen in this episode. 

Learn about the neuroscientific insights into the "adolescent" brain and how understanding the developing brain can help young people to understand risk.  

Is knowing the risk enough to keep young people safe? Dr Jen will explain what steps need to be taken to help young people keep themselves safe on the road.
