This can be linked to the Interactions of the Sociomotional system that is located in the limbic system, including the amygdala and prefrontal area, and the cognitive control system located in the prefrontal and parental regions (Steinberg, 2010A, 2010b). Risk taking in adolescence can involve substance abuse, binge drinking, and impaired driving. Risk taking can be major factors that lead to delinquent, antisocial, and violent behaviours. Rick is 14 when he has dropped out of school, started using cocaine, and has gained a dependency on alcohol. This could be caused by the interactions between Rick's sociomotional system and his cognitive control systems, this is known as the dual systems model of adolescent risk taking. There is a gap between these developmental changes that causes a heightened vulnerability towards risk taking at middle adolescence (steinberg, 2010a). Rick's sociomotional system responsible for regulating his stimulation seeking would be at a high wile his cognitive
