A cognitive science approach to development of self-body representation

一个五颜六色的贴纸被偷偷地放在幼儿的额头上，然后标记的地方由一面镜子呈现，其中一些人试图删除他们的后脑勺上的贴纸，虽然它被放在他们的额头上。对幼儿进行的一系列实验检查表明，前后误差的发生是由于躯体感觉地形图发育不成熟所致。通过对成年受试者的测试，身体到身体映射的反应时和成功率因身体到身体映射的目标而异。这些结果表明，身体到身体映射有几个策略支持的几个认知过程。

A colorful sticker was covertly placed on foreheads of young children, and then the place of the mark were presented by a mirror, some of them attempted to remove the sticker on the back of their heads, although it was placed on their forehead. A series of experimental examination in the young children revealed that the front-back error occur due to immature of somatosensory body topography. By the examination in the adult participants, the reaction time and success rate of body-to-body mapping differed depending on the target of body-to-body mapping. These results suggest that the body-to-body mapping has several strategies supported by several cognitive processes.
