Document Summary
Freud social interaction enables infants to begin developing a self-image or sense of self a set of ideas and attitudes about who they are as independent beings. Unconscious: part of the self that contains repressed memories we are not normally aware of. I: the subjective and impulse aspect of the self that is present from birth. Me: objective component of the self that emerges as people communicate subolically and learn to take the role of the other. Divided development of thinking skills during childhood into 4 stages: First two years of life, children explore world only through 5 senses (sensorimotor stage) Children begin to think symbolically between ages of 2 and 7, where language and imagination blossom (preoperational stage) Between 7 to 11, children are able to see connections between causes and effects in their environment (concrete operational stage) By about 12, children develop the ability to think more abstractly and critically (formal operational stage)
