Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is due to the fact that infants under the age of 18 months have not yet developed self-recognition abilities. Therefore, when they see their reflection in the mirror, they do not realize it is themselves and attempt to touch or interact with the image. As Enrique is younger and has not yet reached 18 months, he will touch the mirror. Fidel, on the other hand, is over 18 months old and has likely developed self-recognition abilities, so he will touch his own forehead. Therefore, the answer is D.

Enrique Is 12 Months Old
