Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Self-awareness refers to infants' ability to recognize themselves as separate individuals from the rest of their world. This typically emerges around 18-24 months of age and is often demonstrated through behaviors such as mirror recognition and self-conscious emotions like embarrassment or pride. Self-recognition (A) specifically refers to the ability to recognize one's own image in a mirror or photograph. Self-conceptualization (C) and self-evaluation (D) are more complex and develop later in childhood as children gain a more nuanced understanding of their own personalities, abilities, and relationships to others.
