When animals look in a mirror what do they see? TINTON FALLS - - Monmouth Regional High School will host the 2007 Norman J. Field Lecture in Science Oct. 18. "Reflections of Animal Minds: Mirror Self-recognition in Dolphins and Elephants" will be presented by Dr. Diana Reiss of Hunter College at 7:30 p.m. in the high school's Performing Arts Center auditorium. Do other animals share with us a sense of self? Do other animals have the ability and interest to use a mirror to view themselves? How big and complex a brain does it take to recognize that the one staring back at you in a mirror - is you! Reiss is a cognitive psychologist at Hunter College, New York, who will present her research showing that dolphins and elephants, along with great apes and humans, are members of an exclusive club whose members recognize themselves in mirrors. Refreshments and informal discussion will follow the lecture, which is free and open to the public. The Norman J. Field Lectures in Science were established in 1991 in memory of Dr. Norman J. Field, and are co-sponsored by the Monmouth County Section of the American Chemical Society, the Monmouth Junior Science Symposium, the Monmouth County School Boards Association, and by the Rutgers University Chapter of Sigma Xi, an international scientific research society. Field was widely recognized for his contributions in the area of public education. He maintained lifelong personal and professional interest in scientific issues. It is hoped that this lecture series will serve to promote similar interest in science and science education among both younger and older members of the community. Monmouth Regional HS is located at Norman J. Field Way, off Tinton Avenue. For more information on the Norman J. Field Lectures in Science visit http://www.FieldLecture.org.
