Most psychiatric disorders emerge during adolescence. This is also a time when brain and cognition undergo fundamental transformations. Despite the importance of development, (computational) psychiatry most often ignores this crucial aspect and studies adult patients with chronic disorders. In my talk I will present two studies that start tackling how adolescent neurocognitive development is related to psychiatric features. Firstly, I will show how myelin development is linked to impulsivity and compulsivity traits. Then I will use the example of effort learning to illustrate how findings in cognitive neuroscience can generate new hypotheses about mechanisms underlying the emergence of psychiatric disorders. Finally, my talk will highlight the importance of a developmental computational psychiatry and the challenges and promises that come with it.
