The cortex of the brain deals with higher thinking but the frontal lobe involves the ability to recognize future consequences resulting from current actions, the choice between good and bad actions
(or better and best), the override and suppression of socially unacceptable responses, and the determination of similarities and differences between things or events. Even little kids can use their cortex but it takes time for the frontal lobes to fully form between 28-30 years of age. That is why teens and younger people in their 20's do dumb things.
