Piaget's constructivist account holds that sensorimotor schemas are themselves generative mechanisms: acting on objects builds the invariance representation, so early competence reflects rapid schema construction, not innateness.

Generative mechanisms(what sensorimotor schemas are): Systems or processes that can produce new knowledge, skills, or understanding—rather than just storing information that's already been fed to you.
Innateness(as used in philosophy of mind): The idea that certain knowledge, concepts, or abilities are built into your mind from birth rather than learned from experience.
Invariance representation(what acting on objects builds): The ability to recognize that something stays the same even when the way you experience it changes—like knowing a cup is still a cup whether you see it from above or the side.
Piaget(the statement references his theory): Jean Piaget was a Swiss psychologist who studied how children learn and develop their thinking skills. He's famous for explaining how kids build understanding of the world through their own actions and experiences.
