![]() ![]() ![]() The waltz still remains a popular piece to play. Oh! You rascal there.” But this fell out of popularity by the 1950’s. Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo! I see you hiding there. It goes: “Peek-a-boo! Peek-a-boo! Come from behind the chair. However, the refrain still remained popular as a children’s lullaby. What began as a poem, evolved into a song that was performed in Opera houses for more than 20 years! In the 1920’s the song was became a popular jazz tune, but it was normally played without the lyrics. The peek-a-boo waltz was William Scanlan’s most well-known work. ![]() His family had him committed to Bloomingdale Asylum, where he stayed until his death in 1898. He was reported to not recognize anyone, including his wife. Scanlan had a mental breakdown only a few years after publishing this song. However, no children were mentioned in his obituary so he may have never experienced fatherhood first hand. When he wrote Peek-a-Boo, he was observing children playing at the park and reflecting on the joys of fatherhood. He spent much of his life composing and acting for Dickson’s Opera House, which was in Kenton, Ohio. Scanlan. Scanlan was an Irish-American actor and composer. “Peek-a-boo!” or also known as the Peek-a-boo Waltz was composed and written in 1884 by William J. I found the original sheet music on the Library of Congress’s website found here: This ‘peeked’ my curiosity-why were these notes here? Did this childhood game have its origins in a song? A quick search on Google confirmed my hypothesis. The caption on the front of the card reads “Peek-a-boo, Peek-a-boo” with musical score above it. Oddly enough, this image was used to sell baby food! An advertisement for Mellin’s Food for Infants and Invalids appears on the back side of the card.īut this isn’t the card’s only unique feature. The eyes are completely black, and give the card an ominous feel. In this card, when the light passes through, it appears that the baby has opened it eyes. This is one of our hold to light cards, which is contains a secret image that is only revealed when you hold it to light. You may remember this postcard from our first blog post: The creepy baby- this card has become infamous in our class. His paper “Cold and Lonely: Does Social Exclusion Literally Feel Cold?” showed that people who feel lonely also feel colder and crave warmth.By Amanda Leach with Richard Marko and Zoe Orcutt Leonardelli did not participate in this study, but he wrote a pivotal paper about social embodiment, feeling a physical sensation such as chills when experiencing emotions such as sadness or loneliness. That’s what particularly novel ,” says Geoffrey Leonardelli, an assistant professor at the University of Toronto department of psychology and Rotman School of Management. The chills warn that something is off about a person who cannot follow social norms. Feeling cold is linked to a threat such as being forgotten (think left out in the cold") and the region of the brain that controls goosebumps also regulates feelings of trust and betrayal. When people violate social norms, our bodies react with chills. “If you start feeling cold it could be an early warning sign.” “In the friendly situation, if you do not mimic, that’s when people’s coldness spikes,” Leander explains. People believed the room temperature dropped to 68 when it remained at a steady 72. And this caused the participants’ skin to crawl - if the researcher did not mimic the right cues, the subjects reported feeling colder. But in other cases, the researcher would not mirror the subject’s actions. Sometimes the researcher moved like the subject if the participant touched his nose, the researcher would gesture similarly, such as scratching her head. In one trial, a researcher attempted to be friendly with participants as if they were peers. Leander and his colleagues created experiments to look at how people react to mimicry. As we age, most adults unconsciously mirror others as a part of normal interactions. Children learn by observing adults and doing what they do - think of peek-a-boo. Humans mimic all the time, starting in infancy. Mimicry occurs when one person copies the body language of another, explains Pontus Leander, co-author of the study and associate professor of psychology at the University of Groningen in the Netherlands. ![]()
