| Research Abstract |
Research goal is to try the experimental analysis of mirror self-recognition in primates and birds. As a result of carried out the training to present a mirror against two individuals, marmoset stayed longer in front of mirror self-image in the same way as other individuals familiar. A possibility that correlation with the others of being reflected in a mirror together would promote formation of mirror self-cognition was suggested.
