In the moment

Hypothesis: the following competences develop together, perhaps around the 2nd year -

1. Ownership judgements.
2. A sense of autobiographical continuity through time.
3. Indexicality.
4. Exploratory causality-related manipulation of objects.

The intuition behind this is that here we see a sense of 'being in the conscious moment' - a moment that extends through autobiographical time.
