According to Freud's psychoanalytic theory, individuals who are fixated at the oral stage of development may exhibit behaviors such as being overly talkative or dependent, as they may have unresolved issues related to needs not being met during infancy. Therefore, Joe's behavior of being a "chatter box" could be an indication that he is fixated at the oral stage.
