Piaget's Stages Of Cognitive Development

Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development and Erikson's Psychosocial Stages my observations fall into consist on early and young adulthood. My first observation falls on the sensorimotor stage of Piaget’s Cognitive Development; this period of development consists of birth to two years. In this stage infants start to think by acting on the world with their eyes, and hands. As a result, they invent ways of solving sensorimotor problem, such as finding hidden toys. On Erikson's Psychosocial Stages my study falls into the Autonomy vs. shame and doubt stage; this period of development period is between the ages one through three. In this stage children should be using new mental and motor skills, and choosing and making decisions for themselves.
