Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Freud believed that the oral stage occurs during the first 18 months of life, during which the child's primary source of pleasure and gratification comes from the mouth (i.e. sucking and biting). If a child experiences frustration or excessive gratification during this stage, it can lead to fixation and later oral-related behaviors such as smoking and overeating.
