Sensorimotor (Infancy and early childhood) – Learning by doing

• Babies use senses + movement (touch, see, grab).

• “Out of sight, out of mind” → until they learn object permanence.
  🍼 Baby drops toy → it disappears… until they learn it’s still there.

Preoperational (toddlerhood) – Imagination explodes, but logic is missing

• Egocentric (only their point of view).

• Animistic (toys are alive).

• Magical thinking.
  🎭 Kid thinks their teddy bear is sad if left alone.

Concrete Operational (Middle childhood) – Hands-on logic

• Can do logic, but only with real, concrete things.

• Understand conservation (water in tall vs short glass = same).
  🧃 Kid finally gets that juice doesn’t “grow” in a tall glass.

Formal Operational (pre-adolescents/adolescents) – Big ideas

• Abstract & hypothetical thinking.

• Can think about justice, ethics, “what if” scenarios.
  🤔 Teen debates about fairness or the future.

Piaget’s Cognitive Development (How kids think as they grow)

Think of it like how a brain “upgrades” in 4 levels, like a video game.

Freud’s Psychosexual Development (How personality forms)

Freud’s theory is like energy moving through body zones as we grow.
He believed unresolved stages cause adult personality traits.

Oral (Infant) – Mouth = comfort.

🍼 Babies explore by sucking/chewing.
Too much/too little → dependency issues later.

Anal (toddlers) – Potty training = control.

🚽 Kids learn self-control and independence.
Too strict → perfectionist. Too lenient → messy/disorganized.

Phallic (young children) – Discovering genitals.

😳 Curiosity, “Why are boys/girls different?”
Oedipus/Electra complex ideas come from here.

Latency (middle/school age) – “Quiet stage.”

📚 Focus shifts to school, friends, sports.
Sexual feelings dormant.

Genital (Adolescents) – Puberty, maturity.

❤ Adult intimacy and sexual identity.

Piaget = How kids THINK

senses → pretend → logic → big ideas.

Freud = How kids FEEL/ENERGY develops

mouth → potty → curiosity → quiet → puberty.

Id

I want it NOW" → impulsive, pleasure-seeking, no rules.

Ego

 "Let’s be realistic" → balances id and superego, problem-solver.

Superego

 "You shouldn’t do that" → moral conscience, guilt, values.

Freud’s Psychosexual Theory

Id = Devil 😈

Superego = Angel 😇

Ego = Judge ⚖
