of proximal development involves a range of tasks that are too difficult for

that a teacher
sets up within a classroom so that children are guided into discovering

✓ ~~> C. In Erickson's theory of psychosocial development, individuals
who fail to achieve the goal of the lower level of development will
have problems attaining the developmental task at the next stage of
development. In the example above, the individual failed to achieve
identity, which occurs during adolescence. Therefore, in young
adulthood, the individual will have problems attaining intimacy, which
is the developmental task to be achieved at
this level. For autonomy, the individual would have to have failed to attain
basic trust; for initiative, the individual would have to have failed to attain
autonomy; and for integrity, the
individual would have to have failed to attain generativity.
