What type of theory typically proposes a series of age-linked stages of development?

  1. Behaviorist

  2. Psychoanalyst

  3. Social learning

  4. Cognitive

The correct answer is: Cognitive

This is because the cognitive theory, developed by renowned researcher Jean Piaget, proposes that human development happens in a series of stages, with each stage building upon the previous one. This theory emphasizes the role of cognitive processes in shaping behavior and allows for individual differences in development. The other options are incorrect because they focus on different aspects of development, such as behavior, unconscious motivations, or social learning, and do not explicitly propose a series of age-linked stages.
