My mom, who has a Master’s in Humanities, is also a great appreciator of the arts, so our home was always filled with classical music. My personal love of music stems from my grandmother, who was a concert pianist and my piano teacher. I think there are two answers: First of all, as Mormons, music is in our blood. Something that runs deep in your life’s connections is the thread of music. Lots of unexpected detours! And now I’m headed back to ASU for a doctoral program.

Consistent with predictions, age differences in reward-seeking follow a curvilinear pattern, increasing between preadolescence and mid-adolescence, and declining thereafter. In order to test these propositions, age differences in reward-seeking and impulsivity were examined in a socioeconomically and ethnically diverse sample of 935 individuals between the ages of 10 and 30, using self-report and behavioral measures of each construct.
