What is the primary developmental stage during early adulthood?

  1. Physical Development

  2. Cognitive Development

  3. Social Development

  4. Moral Development

The correct answer is: Cognitive Development

Early adulthood is a time when many cognitive changes take place. While physical development may still occur during this stage, the focus shifts towards intellectual growth, reasoning, problem-solving, and decision-making. Social development, while important, is typically more prominent during adolescence. Moral development, which refers to the understanding and development of one's ethical and moral code, also occurs earlier in life. Therefore, the primary developmental stage during early adulthood is cognitive development.
