Rationale: Like Erikson's developmental theory, Sullivan believed that learning and development occur across the lifespan and that people can relearn tasks previously unaccomplished at earlier stages of life. Freud believed all developmental tasks were accomplished by a certain age, and unaccomplished tasks left individuals fixated at a particular stage causing lifelong psychiatric problems.
