SIGMUND FREUD’S PSYCHOANALYTIC THEORY (PERSONALITY):


Psychosexual Development:
 Oral Stage (0 – 1 years old) – Infant
 Anal Stage (1 – 3 years old) – Toddler
 Phallic Stage (3 – 6 years old) – Preschool
 Latency Stage (Age 6 – Puberty) – School Age
 Genital Stage (Adolescence/Puberty onwards)


Personality Components:
 ID (Pleasure Principles) – Infancy
 EGO (Reality Principles) – Preschool
 SUPEREGO (Morality Principles) – Near end of Preschool


Three (3) Levels of Mind:
 Conscious – All that we are aware of that are stored in our conscious mind
 Unconscious – All that we go through (feelings, beliefs, impulses deep
within)
 Subconscious (a.k.a Pre-Conscious) – The part of us that’s hidden unless
we search for it


PIAGET’S COGNITIVE DEVELOPMENT THEORY:
Three (3) Basic Cognitive Concept:
 Schema – Building blocks of knowledge
 Adaptation Processes (3)
1. Assimilation – Using an existing Schema to deal with a new object or
situation
2. Accommodation – Happens when an existing Schema does not work and
needs to be changed to deal with a new object or situation
3. Equilibration – Occurs when a child’s Schemas can deal with most new
information through Assimilation. But when our experiences do not match
our Schemata, we experience Cognitive Disequilibrium

 Stages of Cognitive Development:
 Stage 1. Sensory – Motor Stage (Birth – Infancy)
