Store, , August 2010 properly! Freud, Erikson, Piaget Key Concepts Each of these three theorists
presented a stage theory form of human development. Freud discussed psychosexual development, Erikson discussed psychosocial development and Piaget discussed cognitive development. Three concepts from Freuds theory of development are: there
are five separate but interrelated phases of development; they are sequential; they are invariant. Briefly, the five phases are oral, anal, phallic, latency and genital. They begin at birth and
end in adolescence. Concepts related to Eriksons theory are: there are eight stages that are sequential and invariant; they begin at birth and end at death; they depict psychosocial
development, there is a crisis at each stage. Briefly the stages are: infancy, toddler, early childhood, school age, adolescence, young adulthood, middle adulthood, and late adulthood. Piaget focused on cognitive
development. The major concepts of this theory are: stages are sequential and invariant; there are specific processes involved in intellectual growth, which are accommodation, assimilation and equilibrium; and cognition plays
a major role in development. His four stages are: sensorimotor; preoperational; concrete operations; and formal operations. Similarities Two major similarities between and among these three theories of development
are that the theorists all argued the phases/stages are sequential and they are also invariant. Sequential means that they happen in that order described in the theory. The person cannot
skip a stage. Erikson explained it most clearly when he said that human personality development "functions develop through a predetermined unfolding of our personalities in eight stages" (Boeree, 2006).
