Eveline A. Crone (born October 23, 1975 in Schiedam ) is a Dutch cognitive developmental psychologist.

Crone studied developmental psychology at the University of Amsterdam (diploma 1999) and at the University of Pittsburgh (internship 1997/98) and received his doctorate from the University of Amsterdam in 2003 (Performance monitoring and decision-making: Psychophysiological and developmental analyzes). She was a post-doctoral student at the University of California, Davis . From 2005 she was at the University of Leiden, where she set up the Brain and Development Research Center. In 2009 she received a full professorship there.

She researches the influence of brain development on decision-making processes, personality development and self-control in children and adolescents and on their social development. She uses neural imaging methods (functional magnetic resonance tomography ). During adolescence, a remodeling takes place in the human brain, especially in the prefrontal cortex (assessment of risks, impulse control). The nucleus accumbens responsible for reward is also very active, so that the young people are particularly receptive to reward, for example through recognition by friends.

In 2013 she became a member of the Dutch Academy of Sciences (KNAW) and in 2012 of the Academia Europaea . In 2017 she received the Spinoza Prize and the Ammodo KNAW Award. She also received the Huibregtsen Award. In 2010 she received an ERC (European Research Council) Starting Grant and in 2016 a Consolidator Grant. In 2017 she became a member of the ERC's Scientific Council.
