Early Adult Development

According to your textbook, adulthood is usually defined in terms of what people do rather than how old they are.  Given the sense of autonomy and independence that is experienced during early adulthood, what we do and how we do it changes significantly, and those changes can have a tremendous impact on our physical and emotional well-being.  Identify and describe the physical, cognitive, and socioemotional changes that we experience during the early adult stage of development. In your response, be sure to address the following:

  • Physical Changes
  • Cognitive Changes
  • Social Changes
  • Emotional Changes

Your assignment must be three- to four-pages in length (excluding title and reference pages)and must include a minimum of three scholarly sources, in addition to the course text. Your paper and all sources must be formatted and cited according to APA style as outlined in the Ashford Writing Center.
