As promised...
Today's Term O' the Day was Erik Erikson, famous for his difficult-to-remember Eight Stage Theory of Psychosocial Development. As I've mentioned before in class, his theory is particularly hard for students to memorize because so many of the terms begin with vowels, making it quite a chore to make acronyms from them.
Well, here's Micheal Britt again to save the day! In the podcast below, he creates another clever mnemonic, this time using the Peg-Word System to remember Erikson's conflicts in an orderly fashion.
Michael has also kindly provided us with a pdf. file of the ideas he uses. To print a list of the words/concepts used in this mnemonic, click here.
