In early adulthood (ages 20â40), our physical abilities are at their peak, including muscle strength, reaction time, sensory abilities, and cardiac functioning. The aging process also begins during early adulthood and is characterized by changes in skin, vision, and reproductive capability.
Early adolescence begins the separation from childhood and the desire to act more grown up. Puberty, the development of sexual maturity that usually starts unfolding during the early adolescent years, complicates the search for an older identity as the journey to young manhood and young womanhood also begins.
