Despite its popularity as an index of self-recognition, the mark test has not been used for assessing representations of the bodily self. This study combines the mark test and cross-reality task, to demonstrate novel aspects of childrens body representation and its development. Participants real-time skeletal data was captured, and virtual marks were displayed on 30 body parts for participants to interact through touch. The accuracy and trajectory of the first touch and reaction time were analyzed. Thirty Japanese 2- and 3-year-olds participated. Localization error could be predicted by dynamical body part coordination. Three-year-olds displayed fast and predictive reaching instead of visually guided reaching. Analyzing hand-reaching strategies in the XR mark test revealed aspects of the development of sensorimotor body representations.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
