When I was in high school, I babysat two kindergarten age kids. After watching a tv show about esp, I drew shapes on some index cards. I held them up facing me, and asked the kids what shape it was. I don't remember how many they got correct, but at the time it seemed like a good percentage of them. And the ones they did get incorrect, their guesses tended to be in the same family (triangle/square/rectangle vs circle/oval). My dad said, "great. now ask them to guess the shape when you haven't peeked." So I did it again, without picking up the card before their guess. They had no friggin clue. I'd love to go back in time 25+ years and watch the experiment ... I have this sneaky suspicion the kids could see through or partially through the index cards when I held them up in front of me.
