The "Rouge test" : a red dot was 'placed' on the infants' nose in front of a mirror. They were observed.
The infants (18+ months old) were able to recognize the dot , meaning they have a sense of awareness of the self and their surroundings - others.
The were able to indicate or follow the dot.
The test was reliable but validity can be controversial.
Just because an infant did recognize the dot , does not mean the infant is fully aware of his "self" .
Likewise, just because an infant did not, does not indicate that they lack awareness of the "self".
