Most of the early pioneers in psychology, such as Sigmund Freud, Erik Erikson, and Jean Piaget, favored the __________ perspective on human development, which views development as occurring in specific stages.A. naturalisticB. mechanisticC. organismicD. maturationistic

Answer 1

organismic perspective

Step-by-step explanation:

The Organismic perspective is supported by theories in psychology which all point to the common organization and unity of human beings in terms of each individual's inherent growth or developmental tendency. The idea of a theory such as this dates back to the publication of Kurt Goldstein's The organism.

Organismic theory was especially influenced in psychology by the Gestalt psychology.
