Abstract

Applying human concepts of self-awareness to animals often lacks anchoring in biologically meaningful contexts. We advocate a new, modular framework of self-representation, including body-awareness, which helps an individual to negotiate physical obstacles. We emphasize the importance of ecologically valid approaches that allow adaptivity-based hypotheses and discussion about self-representation.

我 "的生物学意义：动物的身体意识。

将人类的自我意识概念应用到动物身上，往往缺乏有生物意义的背景。我们主张建立一个新的、模块化的自我表现框架，其中包括身体意识，它可以帮助个体克服身体障碍。我们强调生态学有效方法的重要性，这些方法允许基于适应性的假设和关于自我表现的讨论。
