Document Summary
The self: an individual conscious of one"s own identity. Self awareness: awareness of the self as an entity that is distinct from others and the environment. Mark test: the experimenter exposes a child, animal to a mirror. You get used to seeing yourself in the mirror. The experimenter puts a mark on their cheek, nose, etc. Rouge test : they do this without the child knowing. If you think its someone else you would reach towards the mirror: once they get to year and half, most humans are able to pass the mark test, urangatangs, pass the mark test, and other monkeys don"t . The baboon does not understand, and believes that its looking at something else. The animal is unable to make this distinction: humans develop the ability to recognize ourselves as being distinct. There is a time period that occurs between 3-4 years , we are distinct and different from others.
