ELABORATIONS BASED ON FINAL EXAMS!!
Sensory Exploration involves activities that engage the senses—touch, sight,
hearing, smell, and taste—helping children explore and understand the world
around them
autonomy versus shame/doubt stage This stage involves a child's journey toward
independence and decision-making
trust versus mistrust stage Infants learn to rely on caregivers for their basic needs,
fostering trust—while inconsistency in meeting these needs can lead to mistrust,
suspicion, and anxiety about their environment.
object permanence the understanding that something still exists even though it
cannot be seen or heard
sensorimotor stage Infants (0-2 years old) explore through senses and actions,
developing an understanding of object permanence and laying cognitive
foundations
Cognitive Transition The transition from the sensorimotor stage to the
preoperational stage is marked by mastery of object permanence, recognition of
themselves as separate from their environment, and the realization that they can
affect the objects and people
around them.
sensorimotor Children know the world through movement and their senses. They
learn through grasping, sucking, looking,
and listening.
Social Transition to Autonomy - shame vs doubt At about 18 months old, a child
transitions from the crisis of trust-mistrust to the crisis
of autonomy-shame/doubt. This transition is marked by the desire to accomplish
daily tasks by themselves. When children feel safe trying tasks on their own, even
though they may not yet be capable, they
, move into the next stage.
Autonomy Supporting children's independence without overly controlling or
criticizing allows them to develop feelings of accomplishment
and responsibility.
Autonomy to initiative stage Somewhere around age three, a child transitions
from autonomy to initiative. This transition is marked by the desire to assert
control over the environment and by increased social, physical,
and cognitive exploration.
