Erikson's Eight Stages of Development - How to Memorize Them Once and for All

[@sophias4280]

I had a question on my MCAT about Erikson's stages of development. Thank goodness for your video!

[@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles]

Yes! Glad to hear it. Congrats

[@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles]

Yea, I know. It can seem weird at first, but mnemonics really do work. Plenty of solid research behind all this. Glad you found this helpful!

[@hkkhawaja2829]

You sir! Are a life-saver! Totally remembered it for the MCAT!

[@Theonenonlyavery]

Bun has a CRUST!

[@LorenSparkle]

This is fantastic. After facing the facts that my own mnemonics weren't working (I'm about to graduate with my BA and psyc and I STILL couldn't remember them), I did a quick google search and stumbled onto this! This is great! The full version on psycfiles had me laughing at the sticks (intimacy v. isolation) and the disPEAR (integrity v. despair). LOL, thanks Michael! I'll never have trouble with this again.

[@siobhannixon8549]

First time I saw this I thought it was crazy and now I know all 8 stages off by heart just by watching this video. I love it and it makes total sense as a method.

[@ionictotalwar6389]

I hate it... I really do BUT DAMN it works lol (took the MCAT and got saved by this)

LMFAO same here for the MCAt

This has literally just saved me days of revision, brilliant! Thank you!

[@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles]

That’s fantastic! So good to hear that mnemonics have been helpful to you. And if you've used them on the cranial nerves, well, that's a mnemonic you'll want to share with your classmates. Thanks for the note.

[@guyute8]

This guy is great! I've listened to several of his podcasts--they're always helpful, interesting, and entertaining.

[@Angeloublue32]

I actually use this technique all the time now. I just started nursing school and it has really helped. I'm the top student in my class so far. The 12 cranial nerves have nothing on me lol.

[@squishmartin]

I died when he put Shane in the automobile. Haha. This is so helpful! Thank you!

[@kellerann1990]

BEST way to memorize this. So helpful for me and my other classmates.

[@monroe444444]

I have a prof right now - different class - who expects exact, word for word memorization of terms, all points and definitions, no emphasis on conceptual understanding at all. It has ruined the class for me. I also have to be able to write an essay exam and explain the first 4 stages of Erikson's theory for a different class, so while I agree with you, this video is VERY helpful & extra info can be added to the mnemonics such as the important events & outcome of each stage.

[@chrisbaldwin8013]

You sir are the most helpful individual when it comes to learning techniques to remember these ideas. I thank you very much for the work you put into these.

[@amadcarrot]

Excellent video- I always forget the stages shortly after having to tak exams, but i'm motivated now to take some time and encode them permanently. Oh, and if you ever get inspired to create a memory device for parts of the brain and their functions, i'll have another 5 star rating all ready to give you;)

[@anthonyowusu1277]

LOL. Never used a pegword system. Currently on the second stage and I'm already laughing. If this actually works for me, you sir deserve a cookie

[@proud2b4family]

Yay! I'm viewer #100. I'm afraid that even mnemonics don't help my poor-terrible memory but I can see how this would be useful to others. Great presentation. Lively and engaging.

[@krissy4nik]

This method is fantastic I've also made up my own peg words for kohlbergs moral development stages

[@WalterCombsLCSW]

Good Stuff!!! I went to iTunes and watched the rests. Got some tests coming up over the next 4 weeks that will use this theory. While I know what happens a struggle I have had is remembering and not mixing the titles of the stages. Thanks for doing this for us :-)

[@originterran]

So great Mr. BRitt

[@Angeloublue32]

loved it! Thank you so much. At first, I thought "WTF" but then it totally stuck. I was surprised and for the first time can easily remember all the stages

[@rvaidyan]

Awesome. Creatively makes the point in a humorous way. Even my 14-year-old son enjoyed it. So, what's the first stage? Rusty vs. Shane? :)

[@jeanpierrelesage]

here is my mnemonics guys: Trautini IS IDying IntiGene and Integrity. 1.Tr-Trust 2.aut-Autonomy 3.ini-initiative 4.IS-InduStrious 5. ID identity, 6.Inti-Intimacy, 7.Gene-generativity, 8. integrity. I hope that helps

[@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles]

Glad to hear it. Thanks Anastasia!

[@SeverinoSE]

Thank you for making this video. I wonder whether mnemonic devices can be used to memorize chemistry, biology and physics material, too?

[@THINKfutureShow]

Awesome video.

[@AndyJB2005]

@rodolfo1114 I like your video. You can still study what happens during each stage as well as use a mnemonic device at the same time. By faster learning of names, it allows more time for in-depth study. Maybe now students will spend the time learning what's in the names instead of JUST the names and where they are located in the order.

[@jaymz350]

I need to memorize all, is there a part 2?

[@cmackey23]

I don't TRUST what's in that Bun!!!!! LOL

[@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles]

That's a good one. Made me laugh. Go with it.

i love this haha. but how to memorise the ages?

I'm sending Shia Labeouf this video.

[@merrywhiterose]

He skipped #5! What's #5?

[@BlueEyesWhiteCinnamonRoll]

People never believe that this works

[@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles]

I know! Unfortunately, mnemonics seem like "party tricks" or something. Mnemonics have been heavily researched and supported by the findings. The simple idea is that we can more easily remember concrete things than abstract things.

[@maddiemai2249]

Cuz it doesn’t ur mom is my gf

[@CaptianKiya]

I thought an easier way with the auto and shoue is that you need a shoue to drive an automobeile.... x.x instead of sticking a car in a shoue. lol. It all works tho. Likie you said, the more bizzare the better.

[@adonica1]

what was 5?

[@MichaelBritt_ThePsychFiles]

+Adonica Blevins I used "sky dive" for 5. All the mnemonic images are available on my mobile app for iOS and Android called Psych Mnemonics: itunes.apple.com/us/app/psych-mnemonics-memory-tools/id1158607712?mt=8&ls=1 or play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thepsychfiles.psychmnemonics
