Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they cast doubt on specific points made in the reading passage.

Both the reading and the listening discuss animal behavior. The article states the animals self-awareness is made from experiments which animals get themselves in mirrors. However, the lecture casts doubt on specific points made in the reading passage. The professor says the results contain problems.

The first point the professor makes is the mark was repetitive. She elaborates that only one chimpanzee touched the head. As an example she says the difference was inconsistency. This point casts doubt the point made in the reading. The latter states the repetitive tests showed the skills of chimpanzees in recognition in mirror.

Furthermore, the professor points out they had the same behavior with or without mirror. She explains, the sleeping drug test was inconsistent. To illustrate, the test was wrong with or without mirror. This casts doubt the information from the reading. According to the passage, they touched the head and the face more times with mirror and after the sleeping drug, they touched the marked spots several times.

Finally, the lecture states that they were self-awareness in the presence of others. As the speaker has it, the increase of grooming was a normal behavior. For instance, it was not possible to see if it was because of the mirror or not. This point casts doubt the reading’s key point. According to the article, they groom themselves with the mirror.
