explain how Erikson would approach the issue of cognitive development in early childhood
Answer
Thank you for contacting the Argosy University Library.
To answer this question, I recommend breaking up your research in two parts. First, research Erik Erikson's theory of psychosocial development. This particular theory is what Erikson is widely known for. Second, research cognitive development in early childhood. After researching and getting a better understanding of both topics, apply Erikson's theory/perspective to the stages of cognitive development in early childhood.
To search for resources on Erikson's theory of psychosocial development:
- Start at the Argosy University Online Library
- Scroll down to the Library Search box
- Enter in the following terms: "Erik Erikson" AND "theory of psychosocial development"
- The second item on the results list from the Encyclopedia of Educational Psychology looks to be something that may be of use.
To search for resources on cognitive development in early childhood, follow the instructions above but replace the search terms with "cognitive development" AND "early childhood".
If you have any additional questions concerning this response, please don't hesitate to reply back.
Sincerely,
Argosy University Library
