Answer:

when a child uses an orange crayon and realizes that each time he Dr again the tip across the wall it produces a certain color

Step-by-step explanation:

Piaget tries to explain the way a child learns through discovery and exploration of his new world. In the above example, the child rubs the tip of his crayon on the wall or paper or any area close to the child and discovered it produces a certain color-coded orange in this case. This is synonymous to when a child pushes a ball, and it rolls across the hallway, the child is pleased at this new development and goes ahead to explore the movement of the ball further. He pushes again to see how far or how exactly the ball would roll and it amuses him. Piaget explains that a child learns in this manner since from this development, the child has learnt that the crayon paints "orange" or that the ball rolls when pushed.
