*Describe the basic periods of human development

Think about the lifespan and make a list of what you would consider the basic periods of development. How many periods or stages are on your list? Perhaps you have three: childhood, adulthood, and old age. Or maybe four: infancy, childhood, adolescence, and adulthood. Developmentalists often break the lifespan into eight stages:
1.Prenatal Development
2.Infancy and Toddlerhood
3.Early Childhood
4.Middle Childhood
5.Adolescence
6.Early Adulthood
7.Middle Adulthood
8.Late Adulthood
