盖洛普等人：S(1995年，Anim.盖洛普的分数测试提供了类人猿自我识别的证据，这一观点被逐一反驳。辩方的合理性受到批评，因为设计糟糕的实验、不可靠的实验效果、不合理的交叉实验比较、错误的推断和轶事观察。最近试图利用发展数据来加强这一情况(Povinelli等人。1993年，J.Comp.心理学，107,347-372)是不成功的，因为它没有找到年龄和分数测试表现之间的可靠关系。因此，仍然没有令人信服的证据表明动物的自我识别或镜像引导的身体检查。建议采用另一种研究策略，即通过完整的、精心设计的实验直接检验自我认知假说。(C)1995年动物行为研究协会
Gallup et al.'s (1995, Anim. Behav., 50, 1525-1532) defence of the view that Gallup's mark test has provided evidence of self-recognition in apes is countered point by point. The plausibility of the defence is criticized because of poorly designed experiments, unreliable experimental effects, illegitimate cross-experimental comparisons, false inferences and anecdotal observations. A recent attempt to fortify the case using developmental data (Povinelli et al. 1993, J. comp. Psychol., 107, 347-372) was unsuccessful because it failed to find a reliable relationship between age and mark test performance. Consequently, there is still no convincing evidence of self-recognition or mirror-guided body inspection in animals. An alternative research strategy is recommended in which the self-recognition hypothesis is tested directly through complete, carefully designed experiments.
