From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The mirror test (also known as the mark test, or the mark mirror test) is a measure of self-recognition in animals. Mirror tests involve exposing animals to mirrors, hence the name. Animals are marked with a dye (often on or near their faces) to distinguish themselves from other members of the same species. Most of self-recognition research involving mirror test is focused on non-human primates, although animals of other species also have been studied. The mirror test for human infants is called the rouge test and is differentiated from the mirror test for non-human animals. Comparative psychologists use the mirror test to study the self-concept in different species of animals. The psychologists attempt to answer when the ability for self-recognition first appeared in the history of evolution, what derived the emergence, and why certain species possess or lack such ability. The study of self-concept in nonhuman animals allows deeper understanding of human cognition and consciousness. [1]
