Need to memorize Erikson’s Eight stages of psychosocial development? On this page I’ve got an audio file in which I share a mnemonic device I created using the pegword system. Of course, these pegwords and mental images work for me, but you may want to alter them a bit to make them more memorable for you. In any case, have a listen and feel free to print out the image below.
Now, this mnemonic won’t teach you what happens in each of the different stages – for that you’re going to have to study the theory. However, this should help you keep the order of the stages right.
Check out what else is available on The Psych Files podcast – the podcast for anyone taking or teaching a psychology class or for anyone interested in how psychological theory can be seen in everyday life.
A lot more information and examples for Erikson’s theory can be found in three episodes of The Psych Files. Click to go to a page containing all of these episodes on Erik Erikson.

I decided that it was time to look at the biology behind the changes that occur in our lives as we grow. As I put my ideas together to do this, I employed a very neat program called Timeliner. It is so cool in fact that I decided to do an episode solely on how to use Timeliner, especially the tool called “merge”. If you are an educator I think you’ll find this episode interesting.
