Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The crisis of trust versus mistrust is associated with Erik Erikson's psychosocial development theory, not cognitive development stages. However, if we align this with Jean Piaget's stages of cognitive development, the closest match in age would be the sensorimotor stage, which occurs from birth to about 2 years of age. Erikson's stage of trust versus mistrust also occurs from birth to around 18 months to 2 years, focusing on an infant's basic needs being met by parents or caregivers.
