这项研究调查了婴儿期视觉自我识别的发展。先前的研究调查了婴儿在镜子或实时视频刺激中的自我感知，其中存在视觉本体感觉意外事件。然而，还没有研究探讨小婴儿根据特征信息识别自己面孔的能力。 2、3、5 和 8 个月大的婴儿并排观看自己和同龄人脸部的视频。这些面孔在移动和静止的情况下都呈现出来。结果表明，到 3 个月大时，婴儿就能将自己与同伴区分开来，并对同伴的面孔表现出明显的视觉偏好。这表明婴儿在 3 个月大时就已经熟悉了自己的视觉外观。鉴于大多数婴儿至少每天都会接触到自己的镜像，因此推测对自我的特征识别是通过镜像接触而发展起来的。有人进一步提出，在镜子提供的偶然情况下观察一个人的脸，可以作为感知脸属于自我的基础。
This research investigated the development of visual self-recognition in infancy. Prior research has investigated infants' self-perception in mirror or live video stimulation in which visual-proprioceptive contingency is available. No research, however, has addressed the young infants' ability to recognize his or her own face on the basis of featural information. Infants of 2, 3, 5, and 8 months of age viewed video films of their own face side by side with that of a peer. The faces were presented under both moving and still conditions. Results indicated that by the age of 3 months, infants discriminated the self from the peer and demonstrated a significant visual preference for the face of the peer, This suggests that infants already are familiar with their own visual appearance by 3 months of age. Given that most infants had received at least daily exposure to their mirror image, it was hypothesized that featural recognition of the self developed through mirror exposure. It was further suggested that viewing one's face in the context of the contingency provided by the mirror serves as a basis for perceiving the face as belonging to the self.
