<em>Answer:</em>

<em>His prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped.    </em><em> </em>

<em>Explanation:</em>

<em>The "prefrontal cortex" </em><em>is also written as "PFC" and is defined as the "cerebral cortex" that covers the front part of a person's frontal lobe of the brain. The prefrontal cortex is being implemented or is significant in planning or developing personality expression, moderating social behavior, complex cognitive behavior, and decision-making process, etc. </em>

<em>A person's prefrontal cortex</em><em> is being fully-developed or matured at the age of twenty-five years and therefore an adolescent has underdeveloped prefrontal cortex. </em>

<em>As per the question, Xavier's poor decision making is due to the fact that his prefrontal cortex is underdeveloped.</em>

For conditioning to occur, a(n) ____________ must repeatedly come before a(n) unconditioned stimulus.
nalin [4]
The correct answer is a neutral stimulus. 

A neutral stimulus (such as a bell, or an object), that is repeatedly followed by unconditioned stimulus, eventually elicits a conditioned response. For instance, in Ivan Pavlov's famous classical conditioning study, he repeatedly paired a neutral stimulus (a ringing bell) that came before an unconditioned stimulus (food), and eventually the sound of the bell alone elicited a conditioned response (salivating) in dogs.
