English term or phrase: get
It seems that there is some kind of internal circuitry in the brain that is pushing children to get intrinsically by... new movements.

The speaker is not native, do you think he means here get new moments (get) or manage new movements (get by)?

Thanks in advance,

neutral  B D Finch: You can't tell that it's the phrasal verb "get by", because the Asker has omitted part of the sentence that is essential for anyone to make sense of it.
