A short note on infancy, adolescence and adulthood
Answers
Hi friend
Infancy:- the state or period of babyhood or early childhood.
adolescence:- the period following the onset of puberty during which a young person develops from a child into an adult.
adulthood :- the state or condition of being fully grown or mature.
Infancy-it is the period of time that begins with the organism’s emergence into the world as a separate being and ends with the organism’s achieving a measure of independence. Because the organism is immature and environmental stimulation is new, infancy is the simplest and clearest arena in which the controversy of nature and nurture has been waged. This controversy is one main issue in the study of the origins of behavior.
Adolescence- it is typically describes the years between ages 13 and 19 and can be considered the transitional stage from childhood to adulthood. However, the physical and psychological changes that occur in adolescence can start earlier, during the preteen or "tween" years (ages 9 through 12).
Adulthood, the period in the human lifespan in which full physical and intellectual maturity have been attained. Adulthood is commonly thought of as beginning at age 20 or 21 years. Middle age, commencing at about 40 years, is followed by old age at about 60 years.
