Eight-month-old Elisha’s crib is located near a large mirror on her dresser, yet Elisha barely ever stops to look at herself in the mirror. On the other hand, her 18-month-old sister, Amanda, stops regularly to gaze at herself as she crawls around on the floor near the full-length bathroom mirror. What is the likely reason that Amanda looks at the mirror but Elisha does not?

Explanation:

The ability to tune into your actions, feelings and thoughts is called self awareness.  

If someone is self aware it means that they can recognise how other people see them. Public self awareness and private self awareness are two types of self awareness.

The theory of self awareness was developed by parapsychologist Robert Wicklund and Shelly Duval, they proposed that when  we focus our attention ourselves we compare our current behaviour to our values and internal standards  and we become self conscious with the evaluation.  the child is looking at the mirror because it is yet to develop self awareness.
