MIRROR ( ROUGE) TEST
6-12 Months- Babies behave as if it is someone else in the mirror
13-24 Months- Babies look warily at the image
24 Months- Babies clearly identify and recognise themselves, at a similar age children begin to use personal pronouns ("me" or "mine")
EVALUATION
Self recognition occured quicker in securely attached infants and in those encouraged to be independent
Basic emotions have already developed, more complex ones now appear: empathy, jealousy and embarrassment
