“…The current developmental neuroimaging literature consist of early post-natal studies with an almost complete discontinuity until primary school years. While infants can be assessed during natural sleep, and tightly bound by wrapping a sheath around the full body which inhibits movement while at the same time soothing the child, young children find it very difficult to lay still during image acquisition (Mills & Tamnes, 2018). Repositioning, fidgeting or even chewing is understood to create sufficiently poor quality data that could bias imaging results.…”

“…These cognitive and affective changes are likely underpinned by structural and functional brain maturation (Decety & Michalska 2010;Mills & Tamnes 2020). In turn, such developmental processes support more complex value-based and decision-making architecture.…”

Moral learning and decision-making are crucial throughout our lives from infancy to old age. Emerging evidence suggests that there are important differences in how we learn and decide in moral situations, and these may be underpinned by co-occurring changes in the use of model-based values and theory of mind. Here, we review the decision neuroscience literature on moral choices and moral learning considering four key concepts. These concepts are learning and experiencing moral emotions, learning and deciding about other's moral character, moral learning and deciding for others, and moral influence and contagion. We focus on recent behavioural and neuroimaging findings using a value-based decision-making framework, showing how mathematical models of decision-making can be used to determine the computational mechanisms underlying these concepts, uncover their neural correlates, and ultimately provide a mechanistic account of morality across the whole lifespan.

Homicide and Criminal Maturity of Juvenile Offenders: A Critical Review

et al. 2022

In 2012, the United States Supreme Court struck down existing legislative statutes mandating life without parole sentencing of convicted homicide offenders under age 18. The Court’s core rationale credited research on brain development that concludes that juveniles are biologically less capable of complex decision-making and impulse control, driven by external influences, and more likely to change. Closer scrutiny of the research cited in the defendants’ amicus brief; however, reveals it to be inherently flawed because it did not include relevant populations, such as violent offenders; utilized hypothetical scenarios or games to approximate decision-making; ignored research on recidivism risk; made untenable leaps in their interpretation of relevance to the study of homicide, and failed to include contradictory evidence, even from the brief’s authors. In forensic assessment, a blanket assumption of immaturity based on a homicide offender’s age is not appropriate, as research has demonstrated that in relevant respects, older adolescents can be just as mature as adults. An individualized and thorough assessment of each juvenile offender, including an analysis of personal history, behavioral evidence such as pre, during, and post crime behavior, and testing data more accurately inform questions of immaturity and prognosis in juvenile violent offenders.
