In the context of the mirror technique designed to assess the development of self-concept among infants, nose touching suggests that children recognize others and that they perceive that the dot of rouge is consistent with their own features.

Question

a. True
b. False

Answer 1

a. True

The mirror technique, often referred to as the "mirror test," is used to assess self-recognition in infants and children. When an infant touches or attempts to remove a mark (such as a dot of rouge) placed on their own nose while looking in a mirror, it indicates that they recognize themselves and understand that the reflection is them. This behavior suggests that they can perceive their own features and differentiate themselves from others.
