DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): This study examines differences between adolescent offenders in juvenile court, adolescent offenders in adult court, and adult offenders on cognitive tasks measuring the maintenance of internal representations of task relevant context information (i.e., modified Stroop task, Continuous Performance Test, and Lexical Disambiguation task). It is expected that both transferred and non-transferred youthful offenders will exhibit more disturbances in context processing compared to adult offenders. These patterns in context processing will be evident across task domains. It is also hypothesized that context processing will be differentiated from short-term memory for all participant groups. It is expected that disrupted context processing will be associated with lower levels of risk perception, consideration of future consequences, and general sophistication-maturity. Participants will be matched samples of adolescent inmates and adult offenders from an adult correctional facility and youths from a juvenile detention facility. Statistical analyses for each of the proposed hypotheses include repeated measures analysis of variance, planned orthogonal contrasts, correlations, and multiple regression. The implications of the proposed study will be discussed in terms of culpability and juvenile transfers to adult court.

描述（由申请人提供）：本研究考察了少年法庭中的青少年罪犯、成人法庭中的青少年罪犯和成年罪犯在认知任务上的差异，这些任务测量了任务相关背景信息的内部表征的维持（即修改后的斯特鲁普任务、持续表现）测试和词汇消歧任务）。与成年罪犯相比，预计移交和未移交的青少年罪犯在情境处理方面都会表现出更多的干扰。上下文处理中的这些模式在整个任务域中都是显而易见的。还假设所有参与者群体的上下文处理将与短期记忆区分开来。预计，中断的上下文处理将与较低水平的风险感知、对未来后果的考虑以及总体成熟度相关。参与者将与来自成人惩教设施的青少年囚犯和成年罪犯以及来自少年拘留设施的青少年进行匹配。每个提出的假设的统计分析包括重复测量方差分析、计划正交对比、相关性和多元回归。拟议研究的影响将在有罪和青少年移交成人法庭方面进行讨论。
