What is the Sensorimotor stage?
These basic needs at the bottom of Maslow’s pyramid include food, water, warmth, and rest.
What are physiological needs?
In Erikson’s first stage (infancy), the main conflict is trust vs. this.
What is mistrust?
This term describes a teacher adjusting support to match a learner’s current level, then gradually removing help.
What is scaffolding?

What is shame and doubt?

Who is Lev Vygotsky?
At this level, students use information in new situations, like solving a math problem with a learned formula.
What is Applying?
In this stage (about 7–11 years), children can think logically about concrete events but struggle with abstract ideas.
What is the Concrete Operational stage?
Friendship, family, and a sense of connection to others belong to this level.
What are love and belonging needs?
In the preschool years, children either develop initiative or this negative outcome if they’re overly controlled or criticized.
What is guilt? (initiative vs. guilt)
According to Vygotsky, this “zone” is where learning is most effective—tasks a learner can do with guidance but not alone.
What is the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD)?
This higher‑order level involves breaking information into parts and examining relationships among the parts.
What is Analyzing?
In this final stage, beginning around age 11+, individuals can think abstractly and reason hypothetically.

What is self-actualization?
In adulthood, people seek to create or nurture things that will outlast them. Name this stage’s positive outcome.
