The child is engaging in a type of play known as "repetitive play" or "rinse and repeat play." Repetitive play refers to activities where children repeat the same action or routine multiple times, often finding comfort and joy in the repetition. In this specific scenario, the child repeatedly taking off his socks and the caregiver putting them back on can be seen as the child's way of seeking repetition and exploring cause and effect.
