PSY312H1 Lecture Notes - Lecture 9: Mirror Moves, Proprioception, Learned Helplessness
Document Summary
I-self: - the part that initiates, organizes, and interprets experience. (i think therefore i am). Proprioception - the sense of one"s own limb movement. Self-recognition- the process coming to know that the i-self and me-self exist. Self recognition refers to perception of the self as a separate being, distinct from people and objects in the surrounding world. At rst, babies react to contingency cues when presented with their own moving image. Mirror test: as early as three months of age, baby recognizes the contingency that when they move, the thing in the mirror moves. When i move and feel myself move, the thing moves. When infants were shown with video of themselves, they will stare at these things which are moved as the same time. But they do not stare as long at those delayed video of themselves. By the middle of the second year, toddlers respond to feature cues, which have to do with their unique visual appearance.
