Abstract
A study was conducted on chimpanzees' cognitive ability when subjected to their mirror images to test the anaesthetic recovery hypothesis developed by Heyes (1994). Two separate one-way analysis of variance were used to examine the significant differences in the level of their reactions. Results failed to uphold Heyes' hypothesis and are rather more supportive of the Gallup's self-recognition model.
