www.psychexamreview.com In this video I describe a spectrum of consciousness, ranging from minimal consciousness up to full human consciousness. Along the way, recognition of the self may be an important marker for differentiating some animals. The ability to be self-conscious and view oneself as an object rather than just being the subject experiencing consciousness seems to be limited to a small number of animals. The mark test devised by Gordon Gallup has identified some level of self-awareness in chimps and has been demonstrated in other animals as well, including orangutans, elephants, dolphins, and magpies. It's important to remember that this recognition test doesn't tell us how often animals view themselves as objects when mirrors aren't around or about the richness of their self-awareness.
