Sensorimotor intelligence: Babies organize their physical action

schemes, such as sucking, grasping, and hitting, for dealing with the immediate world.

Piaget’s Developmental Theories on Sensorimotor Intelligence

Preoperational Thought Children learn to think-to use symbols and

internal images-but their thinking is unsystematic and illogical. It is very different from that of adults.

Piaget’s Developmental Theories on Preoperational Thought

“Oral Stage (birth – 1 year)” “Mouth = pleasure” “Premature weaning could lead to problems in

personality development” “An “oral” person: “

“Might eat too much, chew gum constantly, chew on pens”

“Achieves satisfaction denied to them early through their mouth (oral fixation)”

“Psychosexual Stages”

“Anal Stage (1 – 3 years)” “Anus is associated with pleasure” “Literally: unwilling to part with your own

feces” “Toilet training can lead to fixation if not

handled properly” “Anal retentive behaviors”

“Clean, compulsive, stingy”

“Psychosexual Stages”

Erik Erikson’s Psychosocial Developmental Stage And Theory Erik Erikson’s theory suggests that children develop a

sense of trust when caregivers provide reliability, care, and affection a lack of this will lead to mistrust. There are eight psychosocial stages that humans develop throughout their life. Trust vs Mistrust is a stage that occurs approximately from birth to 1 year. When an infant is hungry and he/she gets fed and comforted when he needs comforting then that infant will develop trust. Erik Erikson also said that some mistrust is necessary to learn to discriminate between dishonest and honest people. If mistrust wins over trust in this stage, the child will be frustrated, withdrawn, suspicious, and will lack self confidence.
