Secondary circular reactions, a concept from Piaget's theory of cognitive development, occur in the sensorimotor stage (roughly from ages 4 to 8 months) and involve the repetition of actions that produce effects on the environment. Pushing a button on a toy to hear a sound that you like is an example of this, as the infant repeats an action to achieve a desirable outcome.
