The first stage in Erik Erikson's psychosocial development model is Trust vs. Mistrust, which occurs during infancy and establishes the infant's sense of reliability in their caregivers for basic needs.
During the Preoperational stage, children aged 2-7 focus on symbolic thinking, where they start to use language and represent objects by symbols.
Vygotsky's theory emphasizes the Zone of Proximal Development, which describes tasks a child can perform with guidance yet not independently.
In the Identity vs. Role Confusion stage, typically occurring during adolescence, individuals explore independence and form a personal identity.
The main challenge in the Concrete Operational stage is mastering the concept of conservation, understanding that quantity remains the same despite changes in shape or appearance.
The Intimacy vs. Isolation stage centers on young adults forming intimate, loving relationships with other people.
'Scaffolding' involves providing temporary support from teachers or peers to assist learners in acquiring new skills or knowledge.
The transition to the Formal Operational stage is marked by the ability to think abstractly and hypothetically, beyond concrete experiences.
'Inner Speech is the internalized dialog children use for self-guidance and problem-solving as described in Vygotsky's theory.
In the Concrete Operational stage, typically between 7-11 years, children begin to use logic and understand the conservation principles.
