説明
<jats:title>Significance</jats:title> <jats:p>Self-awareness is a higher intelligence that can be revealed by mirror self-recognition (MSR) in humans. Testing MSR has become the main approach to examining the existence of self-recognition in animals, and only a few species have passed the test. However, it remains controversial whether failing the MSR test is a result of the lack of an animal’s self-recognition ability or the inadequacy of the mirror test. We found that MSR spontaneously appeared in rhesus monkeys after training for precise visual-proprioceptive association for mirror images. Thus, bodily self-consciousness may be a cognitive ability present in many more species than previously thought, and could be revealed by MSR when the animal acquired visual-proprioceptive association for the images in the mirror.</jats:p>
