Suddendorf, Thomas; Simcock, Gabrielle; Nielsen, Mark – Cognitive Development, 2007
Three experiments (N = 123) investigated the development of live-video self-recognition using the traditional mark test. In Experiment 1, 24-, 30- and 36-month-old children saw a live video image of equal size and orientation as a control group saw in a mirror. The video version of the test was more difficult than the mirror version with only the…
