This study investigated whether 2‐, 3‐, and 4‐year‐olds use their video feedback as a reflection of their current state, even when their feedback was presented with a short temporal delay. In Experiment 1, the effects of 1‐ and 2‐s delayed feedback were examined on an analog of the mark test. In the case of live and 1‐s delayed feedback, 3‐year‐olds passed the test; however, they failed in the case of 2‐s delayed feedback. Experiment 2 examined the effect of prior experience of delayed contingency and explorative behavior. The results showed a significant effect of prior experience. These results suggest that detection of visual–proprioceptive contingency contributes to recognition of visual feedback as one's current self.
