At what age is the onset of schizophrenia most likely to occur? Why?

The onset of schizophrenia most likely occurs in early adulthood. Environmental stressors that occur around that age could possibly be a factor to triggering the onset of schizophrenia (i.e., moving to a different state for college, starting a new job, moving out, etc.). These stressful stimuli is not the causation to schizophrenia, it is only a factor. The cause for schizophrenia could be a combination of factors; such as biological, psychological, and/or environmental.

What is chunking?

Chunking is taking a larger context (i.e, a long list of animals) and breaking it down into smaller pieces to better retrieve that information in short-term memory (i.e., taking the list of animals and breaking it into smaller categories by type of animal). Instead of trying to remember items as a whole, chunking helps break it down into more memorable pieces of information.
