<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>

nata0808 [166]
<span>The babysitter would only experience an emotion after seeing what the stimulus was about and making an appraisal of that stimulus, which would occur by checking to see what caused the door to make such a noise. If the door was making a noise because of a positive reason, such as the parents being home, the babysitter would appraise this as positive and associate the noise with the family coming home in the future. If it was because someone was trying to break into the house, the babysitter would appraise this with a fearful response to the door making noises in the future.</span>
