Document Summary

Test with dolphins and elephants and see if they recognize themselves in the mirror and add a visible mark on their face and see if they try to clean it (self-recognition test/behavioral test). 18-24 months (moral development at the same age): you stay out late with friends a night before quiz and you get only 3 hours of sleep.

As i a(cid:373) thinking about it, i am also thinking about how important volunteer work is, so it acts as a buffer.

Illusory correlation: believing that two things are correlated when they are not.
