I think that there's a good distinction you can draw when talking about the self between the eye and the me. I don't think they have an autobiographical sense of who they are, and frankly, how could they when they're only a couple of minutes old? When you ask people what's their earliest memories, it's well known that very few people can remember anything before their second birthday. So I think that the sense of self, the me, starts to emerge as children start to become, get a sense of their own self identity.
In this episode we discuss the self and interview Bruce Hood, author of "The Self Illusion." Also, at the end, we eat a chewy chocolate chip cookie and discuss therapeutic touch.
