Mirror self‐recognition, as an index of self‐awareness, has been proposed as a precursor for more complex social cognitive abilities, such as prosocial reasoning and cooperative decision‐making. Indeed, evidence for mirror self‐recognition has been shown for animals possessing complex social cognitive abilities such as great apes, dolphins, elephants and corvids. California scrub jays (Aphelocoma californica...
Inhibitory control is a term used to envelop a collection of processes that allow an organism to refrain from engaging in an inappropriate prepotent or responsive behavior. Studies have examined the propensity of inhibitory control by nonhuman animals, from the cognitively complex processes involved in self-control to potentially less cognitively taxing processes such as motoric self-regulation. Focusing...
