The lyrics made famous by Frank Sinatra and many others say‚ “Two drifters off to see the world.

psychology had begun to bloom with multiple prominent names and figures trying to understand the human nature by proposing theories and establishing experiments.

The next stages that will be compared and contrasted in this essay are the sensorimotor stage (Piaget) and oral stage by Freud. These two stages are quite similar to each other and can be defined in similar senses. The two stages lie between zero to two years (infant) who has little knowledge and is dependent on a carer‚ mainly the mother.

Children are a collection of all their interactions with people of their environment‚ such a family and peers.

The kids are modeled different behaviors and encounters where they base their own behaviors off of what they

It is impossible to exactly measure how children develop‚ asking questions such as “How much developmental change occurs gradually over time‚ and how much occurs in a series of clearly defined steps‚ or stages?(pp 52)” More questions presented are “How much of development is the result of inheritance (heredity)‚ and how much is the result of what we have learned?(pp52)” Seeking answers to these questions can help us understand how much a child really should be responsible for.
