Piaget's Stages of Cognitive Development
- Preoperational stage (characterized by egocentrism, animism, and artificialism)
- Concrete operational stage (typically spans from ages 7-11 and involves learning new skills)
Mary Ainsworth's Strange Situation
- The Strange Situation experiment assesses attachment styles between a child and caregiver
