Welcome back to
another MCAT Mnemonic Monday.
I'm Ken and I'm an MCAT expert
with MedSchoolCoach.
Today, we have a mnemonic for
you for the MCAT psych-soc
section, and it's on the Freud
Stages
of Psychosexual Development.
So as you know, Freud came
up with his theory of
psychosexual development
that includes five stages.
The first stage is the Oral
stage from about
ages 0 to 1.
Then we have the Anal stage
from ages 1 to 3.
Then the Phallic stage from
ages 3 to 6.
Then the Latent stage from ages
6 to 12.
And finally, we have the
Genital stage
for ages 12 and up.
The mnemonic for memorizing
the order of these five stages
is: Old
Aged People Love
Grandchildren.
So if you look at the first
letters of the stages
in our mnemonic, you can see
how Old
Aged People Love Grandchildren
can
help you memorize Freud's
stages
of psychosexual development.
