What is the name of the test used to assess self-recognition by applying rouge to a child's cheek in front of a mirror?

• A. Rouge test
• B. Mirror test
• C. Self-recognition test
• D. Red test

Answer: (A)

The main idea here is measuring self-recognition in a child using a specific observational method. In the Rouge test, a small amount of rouge is applied to the child’s cheek, and the child is then placed in front of a mirror to watch their reflection. If the child touches or investigates the rouge on their own face rather than reaching for the mirror, this suggests they understand that the reflection is their own image, indicating self-recognition. The test gets its name from the rouge marker used in the procedure, distinguishing it from a more general mirror-based self-recognition approach. Other terms like a general mirror test or self-recognition test describe broader concepts, but the particular procedure described is known as the Rouge test.
