All children are unique in their stages of development. The first stage of an infant's development according to Erik Erikson is trust versus mistrust. Erikson’s first level of development is the most important period that occurs from birth to 18 months old. Depending on the infant's environment and caregivers will be the contributing factors to the first stage.

That if a teen is expected to do something by their peers, then they will do it. Even if it is morally wrong. This is known as pure…

Humans grow physically and psychologically. Both genders begin as a cell than, zygote and eventually make it to adulthood. When going through the stages of development, humans develop motor skills as well as cognitive skills. As they grow, they mature and due to the social environment of today’s time, children tend to grow up much faster, becoming more mature. Females mature faster than males due to gender roles and social standards going through puberty earlier than males. It is important to…

Throughout life everyone goes through stages. These stages can tell a lot about a person and looking at the stages throughout someone’s life is a way of determining the way someone grew up or what they have gone through in their lives. Three different phycologists have examined these different stages you have went through in life to try and explain the stages. Although all three of their ways of looking at the stages a person goes through in life, all contain a few constants. Jean Piaget…

well-known contribution to psychology is his stages of moral development, where he formulated his own theory through Piaget’s previous work. The theory was to explain the basic questions and issues that both education and psychology were asking. Kohlberg’s six stages set the foundation of moral development. Through his theory it consisted of three levels and in each level it has two stages. He based the theory upon “The Heinz Dilemma”,…

the 4 stages of child development that every single child goes through. The stages go from when an infant is born until it is around 11 years old. Every child is in the sensorimotor stage until they get to be around 2 years old. During this stage infants become area of their senses like touch and sight. They then transfer into the preoperational stage until they are about 7 years old. This is the time when children start to be vocal and use words. They then go into the concrete operational stage…

developments which he divided into four stages. In each stage there is different actions that children develop and until a person develops these skills, they are stuck in this stage according to Piaget. The four stages are sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. However, at different years, the mindsets and abilities of children are different. In sensorimotor stage, infants from birth to two years old focus on the here and now. In this stage, children lack…

development. Piaget used four stages to describe development. Sensorimotor stage is from birth to the age of 2 years. It is the earliest stage in piaget’s theory.

Child go through large amount of cognitive growth in a short period of time when children intact with their environment. In this stage child uses it’s skills…

Among the theories of human development, the one I most agree with is Kohlberg’s six stages of moral reasoning.

The first level 1, age 4 to 10 years includes stage 1 – 'Punishment and Obedience Orientation'. The child obeys rules given by others to avoid punishment. As such, the child does not fully understand…
