A study by a team in Japan has revealed that between the ages of three to four months, babies can pick up details in objects that adults are unable to see. But at around five months of age, we are all susceptible to something known as 'perceptual constancy.' This means we are more easily tricked by optical illusions. To test this, take a look at the grey blocks on the bottom left. You may think they are different shades of grey, but both blocks are in fact the same colour. On the top right, the coloured tiles illusion tricks you into thinking the square on top of the cube is brown whereas the square on the side in shadow is orange. In reality both squares are the same colour.
