Question 4

Scenario: Toby

Toby is 16 and has recently taken up extreme urban skateboarding. He frequently attempts highly dangerous stunts down steep outdoor concrete steps without wearing protective gear, despite having recently suffered a minor concussion. His teachers have issued multiple detentions for performing stunts on school property, and his parents have threatened to confiscate his skateboard, but Toby continues to chase the thrill and the attention of his peers.

Discuss how a psychologist could investigate whether Toby's risk-taking behaviour is due to brain development.
