 Gale Encyclopedia of Psychology: Developmental stages, theories of
One of the more famous theories of developmental psychology was put forth by the psychological theorist Erik Erikson in 1963 in his important work Childhood and Society.
Developmental psychologists, by and large, study the way humans develop from an embryo into a full grown adult, focusing mainly on the factors that contribute to intelligence, personality, morality, and lifestyle.
During the formal operational stage, from age 12 to adulthood, people develop the ability to think logically and systematically and to understand abstractions and the concepts of causality and choice.

 Gale Encyclopedia of Psychology: Developmental stages, theories of
Another prominent theorist in developmental psychology was Jean Piaget, who developed the four stages of cognitive development.
He theorized that people pass from one stage to another not just as a matter of course, but only when they are confronted with the correct type of stimulation to initiate a change.
During the formal operational stage, from age 12 to adulthood, people develop the ability to think logically and systematically and to understand abstractions and the concepts of causality and choice.

Each stage is characterized by a particular issue, challenge, or developmental crisis that the individual needs to face and resolve, a concern or preoccupation that typically takes "center stage" in the person's development during that phase of their life.
Erikson's model of socioemotional development is a stage theory, and thus accepts the three foundational premises of all stage theories (above).
The sensorimotor stage is characterized by pre-linguistic or externalized schemata for which there is no meaningful distinction between inward thought and outward action...

Looking back we can say that it was not possible within the stage of formal operations to resolve the conflicting theories.
Likewise, the operational stage was not non-functional, and the functional stage did not lack sensori-motor activity.
Thus, for our next stage, we are not necessarily looking for something that does not involve formal operations, but rather something that extends formal operations to a point where something qualitatively new appears.

From theories of developmental stages to information processing models, the plan utilizes key concepts to form a coherent, well-designed framework for student learning of debate and composition skills.
In the concrete operational stage, which normally involves prepubescent children, the brain transitions from egocentric thinking to more vicarious, systematic learning; children gain the ability to get inside other people’s heads and analyze their thinking patterns.
In recognizing the requisite cognitive abilities for the tasks involved, this lesson supports Piaget’s stage theory of development, as concrete operational thought processes must be in place before students may engage in decentered thinking and analysis of both sides’ merits as rational, well-supported arguments.

Enculturation as a Developmental Process: `stage' theories Among the better known stage theories of teacher development are those of Fuller (Fuller, 1969; Fuller & Bown, 1975; Ryan, 1986; Marshall, Fittinghof & Cheney, 1990; and Berliner, 1988).
Teacher socialisation perspectives do help illuminate the enculturation of Laura and Louise but, as in the case of stage theory, their utility is limited.
Summation The processes by which Laura was enculturated into teaching are but dimly illuminated by stage theory.

 NBL Conference: Syntactic Processing in Developmental Dyslexia
The ERP components of the dyslexic readers will be compared to those of the normal control readers with respect to the latencies and the amplitudes and they will be discussed in the light of current theories on developmental dyslexia.
It has been suggested that the two components reflect two stages of syntactic processing: an early stage that is automatic in nature, assigning an initial syntactic structure based on word category information and a second stage dealing with structural reanalysis/repair.
This study examines the nature of processing syntactic information in developmental dyslexia by measuring Event-Related brain Potentials (ERPs).

 Profile: Carol Gilligan
Gilligan reacted to her mentors’ work and proposed a stage theory of moral development for women, but there are now alternatives to stage theories that much of the current research in developmental psychology is focused on.
From 1999-2002, Gilligan was a visiting professor at the New York University School of Law, and in June, 2002, she became University Professor at New York University with appointments in the Steinhart School of Education, the School of Law, and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
Gilligan believes that as boys adapt to the culture of manhood, these abilities may be at risk, and this new research has strong implications for how educators respond to their male students.

Ernst Haeckel, with his characteristic mixture of gusto and bluster, fancied himself a Darwinian general embattled in Agassiz's first two stages, unfurling the new evolutionary banner not only for a biological truth but for righteousness of all stripes.
