Peek-a-boo is a ton of fun with infants but I don't buy the explanation that it has to do with object permanence. At the same stage where peek-a-boo is hilarious my kids have also each been perfectly capable of watching me hide something and then going looking for it.

OT but maybe peekaboo works on the emotional tension and release of potential threats being revealed as friendly faces.

Or maybe it's just a fun game.
