Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Based on research on self-awareness in two-year-olds, we would expect Chris to be able to recognize himself in the mirror and to touch the spot on his own face, demonstrating a rudimentary sense of self-awareness. Option B is unlikely because two-year-olds typically do not understand the concept of mirrors reflecting their own image. Option C may occur if Chris is unsure of what the spot on his face means, but it is not the most likely response. Option D is not supported by research on self-awareness in two-year-olds.
