Both the reading and listening discuss animal self-awareness. The reading states that animals appear to recognize hemselves in mirrors. However, the lecturer contrast with specific point made in the reading passage. The lecturer oppose the result of the tests.
The first point that the lecturer makes is that the mark test was repeated many times, and there was only a few constant results. According to the lecturer, For example, they brought eleven chimpanzee and then they put the marks, the results was that only one chimpanzee touched the mark. This point from lecturer contrasts with the reading because the reading only says that the chimpanzee have mirror-recognition ability when they see mark-test.
Another point that the lecturer uses to cast doubt on the reading is, the chimpanzee always touching their faces. The lecturer gives another example, there were 11 chimpanzee and we gave them a sleeping drug then put the red mark, after they woke up, there was only one of them touched the mark without seeing it in the mirror, so it's a natural habit. However, the reading only says that some of chimps touched the marked spots while they looked at their image in the mirror.
Finally, the lecturer states that, on the contrary of the reading, the chimpanzee have self awareness. In other words, when we put them in a cage and put a mirror they show self groom. That's their nature, they usually act like that when they are with groups. This contradicts the final idea of the reading passage because it only says that the chimpanzee have the ability to recognize the image in the mirror as their own.
