Looking for Peekaboo release_gsny3kfudreera2kfdknjv3cd4

Abstract

In the context of a preliminary investigation of peekaboo play in a local day care, this essay examines the particulars of one child's actions as she attempts to engage another child in peekaboo. Four elements of the child's performance contribute to its evaluation as peekaboo: the stylized motions of looking and eye-covering, the intent to make and keep eye contact with the play partner, the rhythmic timing of covering-uncovering motions, and the opportunistic nature of the attempt to play. Considering peekaboo as a folk illusion puts these kinds of early performances in the context of a developmental trajectory that spans the entire childhood.
