Help with Erikson's Theory

[little2one]

I can usually memorize stuff pretty easily, but for some reason I am having tremondous trouble with Erikson's theory of development. Does anyone have any tips on how to remember the different stages?

Thanks!!

I had a hard time with that, too. I think because it's complex and long. I wrote out a stage and used photos of people I knew to identify that stage with their age group. I pretty much used read/write/recite while looking at their picture. So--when test time came--all I had to do was close my eyes and see a familiar face; the information came floating along with it.

I hope that helps. If it doesn't--keep trying!

Thanks for sharing that resource! I love it, and I think I'll be searching through the rest of "The Psych Files" too...
