Jean Piaget's theory includes four stages in sequential order: sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operations, and formal operations. Intimacy versus isolation is part of Erik Erikson's psychosocial theory of development. Latency is stage 4 of Freud's five-stage psychosexual theory of development. The postconventional level of reasoning is part of Kohlberg's theory of moral development.
