= Definition: = The deliberate experimentation with variations of previous actions that occurs in substage 5 of the sensorimotor period. HGD Chapter 5, p. 109

Children begin a period of trial-and-error experimentation during the fifth substage. For example, a child may try out different sounds or actions as a way of getting attention from a caregiver.

= Examples: = A small child will cry, laugh, be silent and make all types of noise to see what different reactions they can get from there caregiver. Each expression by the child will cause a different reaction from the caregiver.





= Analogies: = When a baby starts to cry the mother tries to fix the problem by figuring out what is wrong with the baby and fixing it. when a houses pluming go out a plummer must figure out what the problem is and fix the problem
