Overview

This analysis presents a new mechanistic account of self-awareness in infants, integrating interoceptive signals and social cognition.

Key Points

  • The understanding of self-awareness emerges from infants' interpretations of interoceptive signals.
  • Interoceptive signals play a crucial role in molding infants' awareness of their cognitive states.
  • The proposed model illustrates a connection between social attention and self-representation in infants.
  • Incorporating multiple disciplines, this framework enhances our grasp of cognitive development stages.
