Astrobiology: The Study of the Living Universe (2005, background): “…there is evidence for convergent behavioral abilities between toothed whales (odontoceti, which include dolphins) and humans, for example in mirror self-recognition (Reiss & Marino 2001) and intergenerational transmission of behaviors that have been described as cultural (Rendell & Whitehead 2001).”
In contrast to many other mammals, cetaceans have relatively small hippocampi that appear to lack adult neurogenesis (2013, result): “Additionally, as Piaget stage 6 of object permanence is thought to be a necessary requirement for mirror-self recognition (Mitchell and Hoban 2010), the lack of achievement of this level of object permanence by cetaceans questions the results of a previous study suggesting that dolphins have this co”
Cultural Variations in Children’s Mirror Self-Recognition (2011, background): “From a comparative perspective, chimpanzees, orangutans, dolphins, and Asian elephants are among the few nonhuman species reported to pass the mark test (Gallup, 1982; Plotnik & de Waal, 2006; Povinelli, 1995; Reiss & Marino, 1998).”
Marine mammal cognition and captive care: A proposal for cognitive enrichment in zoos and aquariums (2013, positive): “The evidence is fairly unequivocal in dolphins (Reiss and Marino 2001); killer whales (Orcinus orca) and false killer whales (Pseudorca crassidens) could also be self-aware (in contrast to sea lions) because they appear to look significantly more at a body part in the mirror if the body part has bee”
Thinking Pigs: A Comparative Review of Cognition, Emotion, and Personality in Sus domesticus (2015, background): “…because they are similar to the contingency-checking behaviors displayed by other animals e.g., elephants, dolphins and chimpanzees (Plotnik et al., 2006; Reiss & Marino, 2001), who pass the definitive mark test, suggesting the pigs could have been monitoring their own movements in the mirror.”
Happiness in the Perspective of Evolutionary Psychology (2002, background): “According to the ‘mirror test’, and related tests, the list includes humans, certain apes, and possibly some cetaceans (Gallup, 1997; Reiss and Marino, 2001).”
Comparing the Complex Cognition of Birds and Primates (2004, background): “As yet, the only evidence that an animal may have an awareness of the " self " versus awareness of other individuals has been demonstrated in chimpanzees (and possibly orangutans and dolphins; Reiss and Marino, 2001; Suarez and Gallup, 1981).”
Sensory stimulation as environmental enrichment for captive animals: A review (2009, neutral): “Gallup, 1970) dolphins (Reiss and Marino, 2001), elephants (Plotnik et al.”
Pigs learn what a mirror image represents and use it to obtain information (2009, methodology): “Tests with chimpanzees, an elephant, dolphins and 93 magpies that had had previous experience of mirrors, using marks on the body visible 94 in a mirror, led to the individuals touching or apparently looking at the marks (Gallup 95 1982, Reiss and Marino 2001, Plotnik et al 2006, Prior et al 2008).”
