When does a child become aware that the image in a mirror is his own? Research was done on 88 children between 3 and 24 months.[18] Their behaviors were observed before a mirror. The results indicated that children's awareness of self-image followed three major age-related sequences: From about 6 through 12 months of age, the first prolonged and repeated reaction of an infant to his mirror image is that of a sociable “playmate”. In the second year of life, wariness and withdrawal appeared; self-admiring and embarrassed behavior accompanied those avoidance behaviors starting at 14 months, and was shown by 75% of the subjects after 20 months of age. During the last part of the second year of life, from 20 to 24 months of age, 65% of the subjects demonstrated recognition of their mirror images. |
