“…Also, impaired performance in working memory, decision making, risk-taking behavior (Syngelaki et al, 2009), and inhibition of interference (Borrani et al, 2015) has been found for young offenders. Meta-analyses with adults (Morgan & Lilienfeld, 2000;Ogilvie et al, 2011) and juvenile offenders (Gil-Fenoy et al, 2018) have concluded that offender performance is impaired in neuropsychological tasks that involve executive functions. However, Borrani et al (2019), in comparing adult and young offenders, concluded that the latter display more neuropsychological disorders than the former in planning, inhibition, and cognitive flexibility.…”

This study contributes to the neuroscience of offending behavior by addressing two aims: a) to examine differences in the cortical features in a group of male serious juvenile offenders (21 OG), versus controls (28 CG), both ranging from 18 to 21 years old; and b) to determine to what extent the differential cortical features and the risk psychological profile discriminate between the two groups. Method: Besides cortical measures, demographics, executive functioning, childhood trauma, psychopathic traits, psychopathological symptoms, and antisocial and delinquent behavior were assessed. Results: Whole-brain analysis of the cortical mantle identified increased cortical thickness in the cluster comprising the right middle temporal gyrus and a smaller surface area in the lateral orbitofrontal cortex for the OG compared to the CG. The discriminant function correctly classified 100% of cases of the CG and 94.7% of the OG. Right temporal cluster, childhood trauma, callousness and symptoms of interpersonal sensitivity, psychoticism, depression, phobic anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive behavior contributed to the OG. In turn, the lateral orbitofrontal cluster, psychopathic traits of grandiosity, unemotionality, and thrill seeking, and working memory contributed to the CG. Conclusions: The increased right middle temporal gyrus of the OG could be indicative of impaired brain development in social cognition processes since it appeared in combination with the higher risk profile. The reduced orbitofrontal cortex could be indicative of immature brain development in emotional control processes since it appeared in combination with the normative psychological profile in adolescence. Based on these novel findings, areas of potential improvement for research and intervention are suggested.

The study shows that emotional stress, impulsiveness and inability to control emotions and follow rules is related to the appearance of risky behaviors or antisocial acts that flout the law, which provides evidence that the delayed or inadequate development of the HEF network favors the participation of adolescents in risky behaviors (Gil-Fenoy et al, 2017). Reduced development of the executive function circuits causes individuals to be an increased likelihood of presenting immature judgment, making decisions that involve them in offensive or risky behaviors; thus, young adults may be more similar to adolescents than adults in their antisocial inclinations (Somerville, 2016).…”

“…There has been prolific evidence in recent years of the important role of the frontal cortex and the functional role of “executive functions” for predicting performance (Gathercole and Pickering, 2000a, b; Blair and Razza, 2007; Bull et al, 2008; Cleary and Chen, 2009; Agostino et al, 2010; Molfese et al, 2010; Monette et al, 2011; De los Ángeles, 2012; Diamond, 2012, 2013; Ramírez, 2014; Arán and López, 2016; Diamond and Ling, 2016; Cid-Sillero et al, 2018; Díez and Bausela, 2018; Follmer, 2018; Jacoby and Lavidor, 2018). An impairment in executive functioning has also been related to antisocial and delinquent behaviors (De Brito and Hodgind, 2009; Pera-Guardiola et al, 2016; Gil-Fenoy et al, 2018). Additionally, executive functions are associated with social competence and behavioral problems in preschool education (Romero-López et al, 2015), or in the delayed sleep-wake phase disorder (Wilhelmsen-Langeland et al, 2019).…”

The proliferation of research production in Psychology as a science has been increasing exponentially. This situation leads to the necessity of organizing the research production into different levels of analysis that make it possible to delimit each research domain. The objective of this analysis is to clearly distinguish the different levels of research: micro-analysis, molecular, and molar. Each level is presented, along with an analysis of its benefits and limitations. Next, this analysis is applied to the topics of Executive Functions , Self-Regulation , and External Regulation . Conclusions, limitations, and implications for future research are offered, with a view toward a better connection of research production across the different levels, and an allusion to ethical considerations.
