Identify the correct order and approximate ages associated with Piaget and Erikson’s stages. | Erikson's stages- Trust vs mistrust, autonomy vs shame and doubt, initiative vs guilt, industry vs inferiority, identity vs role confusion, intimacy vs isolation, generativity vs stagnation, integrity vs despair. |
Match the following theorist with his theory:Piaget,Kohlberg,Harlow,Erikson | Piaget's theory of Cognitive Development, Kohlberg's theory of moral reasoning, Harlow attachment issues, Erikson's psychosocial stage theory of development |
