A developmental crisis


What is generativity?

Generativity refers to the capacity ('ability') of all natural languages to generate (create) an infinite number of sentences using a finite set of rules and a finite lexicon ('dictionary'). If this sound puzzling, just imagine being asked to find the above sentence - exactly as it stands - anywhere else.


When learning information that is in some type of order such as Eriksons psychosocial stages one needs to be aware of?

The serial position effect.


What are the advantages attached to eriksons eight stages of psychosocial development?

Firstly, Erikson's 8 stages tended to focus on childhood rather then the adult life through it was called a life span theory. It's also been argued that it applied to boys more then girls. Finally, the rigid structure to Erikson's theory didn't take into consideration cultural differences that may have affected the time during which an individual was in one particular stage. For example: potty training begins at different ages depending on the culture.


How can you use eriksons theories in the classroom?

Teachers can use Erikson's theory of psychosocial stages in many ways. Stages three four and five are main stages that teachers usually focus on. Most elementary and high school teacher's are dealing with students between the ages of 5 and 18, so because of that teachers should also study stage six if they will be teaching students entering the phase of young adulthood, and preschool teachers must brush up on stages one and two because they have students between the ages of 1 and 4 that they have to use Erikson's theory on.
