Eriksons theory recognized the entire life development in eight stages. He thought that the environment affected the development in life. Piaget recognized that the life development is more in the younger ages.
Even though they both had stages, their stages start and end at different times and have different information and development in each stage. People are seen to go through all of Erikson's stages and he believed that children develop by the environment and trust. But, in piaget's theory people can skip stages as they please to and he believed that children learn to move and operate their
