Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In Piaget’s theory of cognitive development, the sensorimotor stage marks the first 2 years of a child’s life. During this stage, your child will learn: to repeat behaviors they enjoy. to explore their environment and interact with objects intentionally.

Detailed explanation-2: -Building ‘schemes’ through direct interaction with the environment is known as adaptation. It consists of two complementary activities: Just as human beings adapt to the environment, their thinking also adapts to the changes they experience.
