Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Adolescents are very present oriented, and they learn procedures and new information best if they can see how it will immediately benefit them. They learn poorly if the only benefit of new information presented to them is something that will affect them at some future date. Adolescents do not like to be reminded to pay attention. They have a strong need to be exactly like their friends, which means adolescents rarely continue any action that makes them different or conspicuous in front of their peers.
