Child development stages

In this paper I will cover the interview that I had with a child to evaluate their moral development according to Carol Gilligan and Lawerence Kohlberg.

n in this stage may show initiative, or the desire to take control of a situation. Children love to initiate activities themselves and enjoy moving from one activity to another (Swartwood, 2012, Pg 84). This can be very demanding for mothers to keep up with their child as they play throughout an entire day.

His theories marked an important shift in thinking on personality; instead of focusing simply on early childhood event, his psychosocial theory looked at how social influences contribute to personality throughout the entire lifespan (Cherry). According to the theory,…

Part One In 1985, Renee Baillargeon, Spelke, and Wasserman (1985) set out to answer the question of whether or not infants in early sensorimotor stage had the ability to understand the idea of object permanence. In an effort to challenge Piaget’s (1954) theory that infants can only perceive object permanence at around nine months old, Baillargeon et. al conducted an experiment on twenty-one infants from Philadelphia aged around five months old – much younger than when Piaget says they should…
