Do Children Become More Plastic in Adolescence?

I was thinking, do children then become more plastic and so on? And then when I came up with it, I want your response about adolescence like that. Yeah, right. Well, one of the things that we have discovered empirically looking at some of this is that if you look at physical problems, like trying to figure out how a machine works, what you see is something that looks like high flexibility and high search early on. Then it drops around school age and sort of stays the same. But if you take a social problem, what happens is that you actually get the most flexibility in adolescence.
