An animal that tries to remove a mark from its body is only visible when looking into mirror displays the capacity for self-recognition (MSR), which has been interpreted as evidence self-awareness. Conservative interpretations of existing data conclude convincing MSR currently restricted great apes. Here, we address proposed shortcomings previous study on in cleaner wrasse Labroides dimidiatus , by varying preexposure mirrors and marking individuals with different colors. We found (1) 14/14...
Some animals have the remarkable capacity for mirror self-recognition (MSR), yet any implications self-awareness remain uncertain and controversial. This is largely because explicit tests of two potential mechanisms underlying MSR are still lacking: mental image self kinesthetic visual matching. Here, we test hypothesis that ability in cleaner fish, Labroides dimidiatus , associated with a self, particular self-face, like humans . Mirror-naive fish initially attacked photograph models both...
