Assuming both the adult and the child are equal in all was except age, the adult has the more developed brain if he has earnestly spent his lifetime USING that asset.
The child may have more potential, but it takes TIME to develop the capacity, the experience, and the knowledge.
The physical development of the organ itself is a different matter entirely. Considering the "brain" (the organic mass of neurons), verses the "Mind" ( the ability to think, remember and solve problems) at some point in our process of maturing, the brain stops growing and starts shrinking.
That leaves the issue of; what is the AGE of the child verses the AGE of the adult.

That's a gross generalization. Stereotypes are one cause you're asking that question. Also, the phrases "mentally mature" may be very intricate. But I'll forget about that for now considering the fact that I don't desire my reply to be too lengthy. In the broadest usual phrases that under no circumstances displays each and every man or woman inside American society, I could say that Americans are allowed to be youngsters for longer as a result of a few explanations, a few of that are that they reside in risk-free dwelling stipulations, don't seem to be as uncovered to different methods of lifestyles, don't seem to be as prompted to increase a profession course earlier than top university is over and oftentimes now not even correct after top university, and so forth. At the equal time, the ones don't seem to be always unhealthy matters nor do they suggest that American youngsters don't seem to be as "mentally mature". In the top, every character has their possess offerings to make. And each and every society, it doesn't matter what their countrywide time table is or their conventional values are, have a formative years base so that it will ultimately ought to make their possess choices and take accountability for his or her possess lives. American youths don't, more commonly, do this any in a different way than different formative years cultures.

Young children possess higher neuron densities. But children are inexperienced.
Adults possess lower neuron densities but are more refined and trained.
Calling a brain "developed" is relative, it's dependent upon the circumstances and demands made upon that brain while the person was living.

according to Pioget's theory of cognitive development children's minds are not fully developed, not just experience wise, until age twelve.
