Overview

Extracted from the local paper documentation when available.

We apply a predictive processing interpretation to mirror test results, offering a novel perspective on mirror self-recognition. We hypothesize that a 'reflection prediction' may explain mirror self-recognition, self-directed behavior, and how humans locate themselves relative to mirrors. Atypical reflection predictions may explain instances where self-recognition traits are atypical in certain...

Findings / Concepts

The "mirror test" has been used as a behavioral measure of mirror self-recognition for a variety of species..
In this article we apply a predictive processing interpretation to the results of the mirror test in order to offer a novel perspective with which to understand mirror self-recognition and self-directed behavior..
Furthermore, we hypothesize that a “reflection prediction”, upon which our predictive processing interpretation of the mirror test is built, may also offer a novel perspective to understand how humans locate themselves relative to a mirror, imitate others, and are self-aware from a socia
