Affective and Deliberative Processes in Risky Choice: Age Differences in Risk Taking in the Columbia Card Task
TL;DR: Results are consistent with recent dual-system explanations of risk taking as the result of competition between affective processes and deliberative cognitive-control processes, with adolescents' affective system tending to override the deliberative system in states of heightened emotional arousal.

Rudolf Uher,Peter McGuffin +1 more
TL;DR: While the G × E has been consistently detected in young adult samples, there are contradictory findings in adolescent boys and elderly people and the method of assessment of environmental adversity is also important with detailed interview-based approaches being associated with positive G ×E findings.

TL;DR: The BART evidenced sound experimental properties, and riskiness on the BART was correlated with scores on measures of sensation seeking, impulsivity, and deficiencies in behavioral constraint, indicating that the BART may be a useful tool in the assessment of risk taking.
