Interesting Fact - Children

Young children really believe they become invisible if other people can't see their eyes.

(Studies carried out by researchers at the University of Cambridge found that when children aged between 3 and 4 had their eyes covered with masks, they really believed they could not be seen by the researchers.

On being asked to explain how they were made invisible by simply hiding their eyes, many knew that their bodies remained visible, suggesting a childhood distinction between their physical bodies and the 'self' they connect to their eyes.

Peekaboo! The eyes really are the window to the soul.)
