Dr Rochat wants to determine if 4-month-old infants have a rudimentary sense of self. He shows the infants a concurrent (live) video of their own legs moving and the video of another baby's legs (both dressed the same). Videos are presented side-by-side. What kind of response would Dr Rochat obtain in this experiment if infants indeed have a sense of self?

If infants have a sense of self, they would recognize their own legs moving in the video and differentiate it from the video of another baby's legs. Therefore, they would gaze more at the video that shows their own legs moving. The other options are less likely to occur if infants have a sense of self.
