The study of adult development is a relatively new field. Unlike childhood and adolescence, which had become fairly established fields of study by the turn of the twentieth century, focused attention on adulthood as a specific phase of life did not come about until after the second World War. As a consequence, we know far less about the process of development during adulthood than we do about childhood
and adolescence. Nevertheless, both the biological and behavioral aspects of adulthood are now rapidly expanding fields of study. This is particularly true for the older years of adult life and the process of aging.
