Crash Course Psychology #20: Adolescence
, Not Grade Specific,

A teacher answer key gives full model answers for 15 numbered items keyed to Crash Course Psychology's "Adolescence" episode, moving from Erik Erikson's identity-versus-role-confusion crisis in the teenage years through his intimacy-versus-isolation crisis in young adulthood and his eight-stage model of lifelong psychosocial development. Later items extend into adulthood and aging: the difference between fluid intelligence, which peaks in adolescence, and crystallized intelligence, which grows with experience; the physical changes of aging such as declining reaction time and hormone production; and the distinction between normal memory changes, dementia, and Alzheimer's disease. One item connects the material to the film The Breakfast Club as an illustration of the adolescent struggle between standing out and belonging.
