Lessons From Markey et al. (2015) and Bushman et al. (2015)
This article presents a response to the comment by B. J. Bushman, D. Romer, and P. E. Jamieson (2015). This reply addresses 2 issues raised by the commenters.

A Skeptical Appraisal.” Two respondent papers argue that the author mischaracterized valid and useful developmental and biological arguments affirming adolescents’ singular risk propensities; the third response raises innovative biological perspectives suggesting unique adolescent brain abilities that strongly challen…
