>> How do you measure consciousness at these ages?
You certainly ask some weird questions. It's apparent that you and I define consciousness differently - and I'm sure the same could be said between most people. When you say consciousness, do you mean alertness and reaction times? self-awareness? awareness of surroundings? Or the state of being awake? If you define it more specifically, I'm sure it will be more obvious how it could be measured.
