Sigmund Freud (1856-1939)provided the first formal structured theory of personality development.Freud's psychoanalytic model of personality development is grounded in the belief that two internal biological forces drive the psychological change in a child: sexual (libido)and aggressive energies.Jean Piaget (1896-1980)developed the theory of cognitive development,which describes children's intellectual organization and how they think,reason,and perceive the world.The theory includes four periods: sensorimotor,preoperational,concrete operations,and formal operations.Erik Erikson divided life into eight stages,known as Erikson's eight stages of development.According to this theory,individuals need to accomplish a particular task before successfully completing each stage.Each task is framed with opposing conflicts,such as trust versus mistrust.Each stage builds upon the successful attainment of the previous developmental conflict.Lawrence Kohlberg (1927-1987)expanded on Piaget's work.According to Kohlberg (1964),moral development is one component of psychosocial development.It involves the reasons an individual makes a decision about right and wrong behaviors within a culture.
