Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The latency stage occurs during middle childhood between the ages of around 6-12 years old. During this stage, there is a relative calm in psychosexual development as children focus on developing social and cognitive skills, rather than sexual feelings and impulses. The other options, oral and anal, occur in earlier stages of development, while childhood is not a recognized stage of psychosexual development.
