What is the transition period between middle childhood and adolescence called?

  1. Latency

  2. Adolescence

  3. Puberty

  4. Infancy

The correct answer is: Latency

The transition period between middle childhood and adolescence is known as latency. This period is characterized by a period of relative calm and reduced hormones, in contrast to the significant changes and development that occur during puberty. Options B and C, adolescence and puberty, respectively, refer to stages later in development and do not encompass the full transitional period. Option D, infancy, is a stage of early development and is not relevant to the question.
