It is a generalization from many trials/occasions in which following your directions did lead to good things happening. Presumable, for these children, attending to reinforcing stimuli has led to reinforcement. Now, do the same with common objects. Get the child's attention and pair it with the common object and provide reinforcement. Do that until presenting the common object elicits attention (and reinforcement for the child) and then gradually shift the reinforcement schedule from " every time " to " once in a while.
