Let's assume we have a primitive man in a cage trying to get a banana that hangs from the roof. There are boxes he can use somewhere in the cage...
-First he notices the banana in the roof.
-Immediatly he feels the need to reach it.
-He imagines how he would feel if he got a hand on the banana.
-He also remembers how he felt in one occasion in which he jumped in the air from one of the boxes.
-He makes a connection between both feelings (success).
-Both feelings have things in common, but also have differences. Assuming he possesses a language:
-He decomposes the parts of the first situation and the second situation, naming them. Tries to reach the final goal (reaching the banana), taking what is necessary and discarding what isn't.
-Puts his plan in action.
