I am intrigued to know at what stage in our development we start using eye accessing cues. I ran an experiment with my three year old son, Jack, this morning and it worked perfectly.
I asked him three questions about Scooby Doo and observed his eye movements. Here is what happened.
“Jack, what colour is Shaggy’s t-shirt?” – His eyes went straight up and to the right (as I looked at him) and he said “that colour”, pointing to something green.
“It is, you’re right Jack. What does Scooby’s laugh sound like?” He looked to the side and right and then did his best ”hee hee hee hee” impression! Scooby Doo\’s hee-hee-hee laugh
“Ha, ha he sounds just like that Jack. Do you like watching Scooby Doo?” His eyes immediately dropped as he thought, then said “yes, I like Scooby wah!” (Wah is Jack’s word for scary monsters).
Jack’s developing pretty typically for three and he accessed the cues with a deliberateness that he couldn’t possibly have ‘put on’ at his age.
What are your experiences?
