Myth: adolescence is a distinct stage of development
Adolescence is a period of transition wherein a person’s biological, psychological and social characteristics go from childlike to adult-like, rather gradually -
Myth: adolescence is a period of universal storm and stress
About 20-25% of adolescents report significant behavior problems, and of these, 80% also experienced problems in childhood (so less than 10% of children develop problematic behavior during adolescence -
Myth: adolescence is when ‘new’ hormones develop
- Hormonal levels increase during adolescence, but these are already present during infancy
- Until 8 weeks after gestation, all brains are ‘feminine’, increases in testosterone levels around 8 weeks ‘masculinize’ the brain of males -
Myth: adolescence is when relationships with parents become less important
Friends/partners become increasingly important during adolescence, but that doesn’t mean that the relation with parents becomes less important (they only change) -
Which certain brain chemicals triggers puberty
- KISSPEPTIN
- leptin
- melatonin -
What is meant with peak height velocity
point at when the adolescent is growing most rapidly -
What are the different theories of risk taking in adolescence
- Dual system model: the underdeveloped prefrontal cortex (role in self-control) can’t keep up with the reward-seeking limbic system, which leads to more risky behavior
- Steinberg: when exposed to a situation in which one has to choose the more or less risky behavior, adolescents don’t take any more chances than adults do, unless they are in the presence of other adolescents
- Other perspective (Crone & Dahl): prefrontal cortex does not develop linear but is flexible, motivation plays a role -

For my 1st exam I got a C. Then, I started looking for ways to learn better and I came across Study Smart. Since then I have scored a A+, A, A- and another A. I highly recommend it to everyone who wants to hear it. I am so happy with it!!
I was struggling to finish all my first-year subjects for 3 years. Then I discovered Study Smart, which helped me to finish all of them within 3 months.
Because of StudySmart, things are going well in many ways. Before, I always had study stress and no time for anything. Now I feel calm and confident (because of the program). I used to score a B, now I usually score an A or A+.
Hey Chris, I really want to thank you very much for developing the platform, I usually got around C for my exams, now I scored an A+, an A and a A- !!
Since using Study Smart, my average has increased significantly. I even completed a statistics course with a A+ while I'm bad at statistics. I took on extra courses this year, because of Study Smart. Thanks so much!
Ever since I started studying with StudySmart I passed all my exams !!! No more re-sits!! At first, I was happy with a pass and now I only get good grades. Many thanks!
I aced all the courses I studied with Study Smart. For law, I first scored a D, and now an A! I’m 100% sure that I’ll pass all the courses I study with Study Smart.
I always thought I studied well. My grades were fine. I could never have imagined that applying these study skills would have such a huge and direct impact on my grades, my speed and the pleasure I have in learning.
For the first time, I finally feel totally confident about the way I learn. I have the perfect overview and make great progress in terms of speed and the grades I get. Thanks, Chris!
I immediately started to enjoy learning again, and my grades soared. All of a sudden, everything went better. I highly recommend Study Smart to all students..
Being able to create my materials online made the process of studying so much smoother and quicker. I no longer have to spend a huge amount of my time on creating my summaries.
At first, my notes were a mess. Now I use Study Smart to take my notes in a perfectly structured way. It helps me to save a lot of time and do other things I enjoy.
Students that study with Study Smart get better grades. The system applies all the learning methods in such a way that both well-performing students and students who struggle perform much better.
Hi Chris, I would like to thank you very much. Last year I scored C on a course, and this year I got an A+ thanks to your method! Thank you very much!
The largest effect is that my child is more enthusiastic about school! Every parent wants their children to be happy at school, Study Smart made it happen.
In high school, I failed several exams, and that has really changed now. I actually needed this tool very much back then. Since I started studying with StudySmart, I haven't had any D's. My average score is now an A and those are results I would have never had in the past
With my old method, I passed only 3 out of 8 courses. Since I started taking my notes digitally in Study Smart, I have passed all my courses on the first try. For me, StudySmart takes away the stress of wondering if I will pass or not.
Thanks to StudySmart, I passed all my exams, and with better grades than before! On top of that, I have mastered a very good study method now, which I am confident will help me earn my degree.
