Curious kid

Knowable space keeps expanding, and the traveler gets a little more for new experiences and knowledge, and motives for action, that is successfully developed.
What happens when a curious toddler gets to the contents of a kitchen cabinet or drawer in the bathroom, they know most parents. But what this actually happened? Child himself get to another room, he opened the closet, he pulled out cans of cereals, he opened the lid. All by myself! You taught him to such actions on the pyramids and jars, and so he applied the skills learned in practical situations. From the standpoint of logic, all life is simple and correct.
What if "a motor" works too active?
