In the fourth substage of the sensorimotor stage, which occurs approximately between 8 and 12 months of age, infants begin to demonstrate intentional, goal-directed behavior. This is when they start to understand how to achieve a goal through their actions, such as pushing a button to get a toy to make a sound.
