From cross-disciplinary discussions in cognitive neuroscience, the development of self-concept can be viewed as a process that begins with the recognition that the person in the mirror is not the other (non-other) and proceeds to socialization as the self reflected in the eyes of the other (in-other). The validity and significance of applying this universal developmental framework from non-X to in-X to the self was raised at the symposium “Approaches from Brain Research to the Multidimensionality of ‘Self’” held by the Japanese Association of Cognitive Psychology. We discussed the reversal of this developmental order in ASD and the need to pay attention to cultural differences. (Sugiura)
