Children's Understanding of the Relation between Delayed Video Representation and Current Reality: A Test for Self-Awareness?

Suddendorf, Thomas

Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v72 n3 p157-76 Mar 1999

Investigated whether children's ability to recognize themselves in delayed video feedback indicates change in self awareness. Parallel results in both conditions studied, and the likelihood of false positives and false negatives indicate that the video test in its present form may not be a valid measure of differences in self-awareness.
