Self-Recognition: A Study of a Population without Mirrors.
Priel, Beatrice; de Schonen, Scania
Journal of Experimental Child Psychology, v41 n2 p237-50 Apr 1986
Sixty children, aged 6 to 26 months, were observed discovering their mirror image and a reflected object. Compared to a control group's reactions, their behavior suggests that self-recognition in mirrors is independent of familiarity with reflecting surfaces and that ability to relate mirror space to real space is influenced by previous experience.
