Perspective-taking is the act of perceiving a situation or understanding a concept from an
|
9840_1
|
alternative point of view, such as that of another individual. There is a vast amount of scientific
|
9840_2
|
literature that has looked at perspective-taking and suggests that it is crucial to human
|
9840_3
|
development, and that it may lead to a variety of beneficial outcomes. Perspective-taking is
|
9840_4
|
related to other theories and concepts including theory of mind and empathy. Both theory and
|
9840_5
|
research have suggested ages when children are able to begin to perspective-take and how that
|
9840_6
|
ability develops over time. Research has also suggested that certain people that have attention
|
9840_7
|
deficit hyperactivity disorder with comorbid conduct problems (such as Oppositional Defiant
|
9840_8
|
Disorder) or autism may have reduced ability to engage in perspective-taking. Additionally, studies
|
9840_9
|
have been conducted to assess the brain regions involved in perspective-taking. These studies
|
9840_10
|
suggest that several regions may be involved, including the prefrontal cortex and the precuneus.
|
9840_11
|
Additionally, studies suggest that perspective-taking may be possible in some non-human animals.

Definition
|
9840_13
|
Perspective-taking is the step by which an individual views a situation from another's
|
9840_14
|
point-of-view. Within the scientific literature, perspective-taking has been defined along two
|
9840_15
|
dimensions: perceptual and conceptual. Perceptual perspective-taking is defined as the ability to
|
9840_16
|
understand how another person experiences things through their senses (i.e. visually or
|
9840_17
|
auditorily). Most of this literature has focused on visual perspective-taking: the ability to
|
9840_18
|
understand the way another person sees things in physical space. Conceptual perspective-taking is
|
9840_19
|
defined as the ability to comprehend and take on the viewpoint of another person's psychological
|
9840_20
|
experience (i.e. thoughts, feelings and attitudes). For instance, one can visualize the viewpoint
|
9840_21
|
of a taller individual (perceptual/visual) or reflect upon another's point of view on a particular
|
9840_22
|
concept (conceptual).

Theory of mind
|
9840_25
|
Theory of mind is the awareness that people have individual psychological states that differ from
|
9840_26
|
one another. Within perspective-taking literature, the term perspective-taking and theory of mind
|
9840_27
|
are sometimes used interchangeably and some studies use theory of mind tasks in order to test if
|
9840_28
|
someone is engaging in perspective-taking. Some research, however, has highlighted that the two
|
9840_29
|
concepts are related but different, with theory of mind being the recognition that another person
|
9840_30
|
has different thoughts and feelings and perspective-taking being the ability to take on that other
|
9840_31
|
person's point of view.
|
9840_32
|
Empathy
|
9840_33
|
Empathy has been defined as the ability for someone to share the same emotions another person is
|
9840_34
|
having. Empathy and perspective-taking have been studied together in a variety of ways. Within the
|
9840_35
|
scientific literature, there are not always clear lines of distinction between empathy and
|
9840_36
|
perspective-taking, and the two concepts are often studied in conjunction with one another and
|
9840_37
|
viewed as related and similar concepts. Some research has distinguished the two concepts and
|
9840_38
|
pointed out their differences, while other literature has theorized that perspective-taking is one
|
9840_39
|
component of empathy.

Previous studies have assessed the age at which humans are capable of visual perspective-taking.
|
9840_42
|
Various studies within the literature have drawn different conclusions.
|
9840_43
|
In 1956, Jean Piaget and Bärbel Inhelder conducted a study to assess the visual perspective-taking
|
9840_44
|
abilities of young children which has come to be known as the three mountain problem. This study
|
9840_45
|
found that by the ages of 9-10, children were able to successfully complete the three mountain
|
9840_46
|
problem and seemed able to understand that when someone is standing in a different location (i.e.
|
9840_47
|
on a different mountain top) they would have a different view. However, children ages 8 and under
|
9840_48
|
struggled with this task.
|
9840_49
|
Since this classic study, a number of studies have suggested that visual perspective-taking may be
|
9840_50
|
possible earlier than the age of 9. For example, a study that used a different method to assess
|
9840_51
|
visual perspective-taking suggested that children may be able to successfully visually
|
9840_52
|
perspective-take by the age of 4.5 years old. In this study, 4.5-year-old children were able to
|
9840_53
|
understand that someone sitting closer to a picture would have a better view of that picture.
|
9840_54
|
However, these researchers found that children who were 3 and 3.5 years old struggled with this
|
9840_55
|
task which led them to conclude that the age range of 3 to 4.5 years old could be crucial in
|
9840_56
|
perspective-taking development.
|
9840_57
|
Additionally, developmental psychologist John H. Flavell suggested that there are two levels of
|
9840_58
|
visual perspective-taking that emerge as children develop. Level 1 perspective-taking is defined as
|
9840_59
|
the ability to understand that someone else may see things differently and what another person can
|
9840_60
|
see in physical space. For example, one could understand that while an object may be obstructing
|
9840_61
|
their own view, from where another person is standing they can see a cat in the room. Level 2
|
9840_62
|
perspective-taking, however, is defined as the understanding that another person can see things
|
9840_63
|
differently in physical space and how those objects are organized from that other person's point of
|
9840_64
|
view. For example, a person can understand that from another person's point of view they can see a
|
9840_65
|
dog to the right but from their own point of view the dog is to the left.
|
9840_66
|
Studies have since been done to examine when children are able to demonstrate level 1 and level 2
|
9840_67
|
perspective-taking. These studies have shown that children at 24 months old and 14 months old may
|
9840_68
|
be able to engage in level 1 perspective-taking. Research also suggests that children can engage in
|
9840_69
|
level 2 perspective-taking as early as 2.5 years old.
|
9840_70
|
Studies have also suggested that visual perspective-taking ability improves from childhood to
|
9840_71
|
adulthood. For example, in comparing 6-year-olds, 8-year-olds, 10-year-olds and adults (averaging
|
9840_72
|
at 19 years of age) researchers found that as people's age increased, visual perspective-taking
|
9840_73
|
tasks could be done with more accuracy and speed.

In Piaget's theory of cognitive development, he suggests that perspective-taking begins in the
|
9840_76
|
concrete operational stage (third stage) which ranges from ages 7–12. It is within this stage that
|
9840_77
|
the idea of decentration is introduced as a cognitive ability. Decentration was defined as the
|
9840_78
|
ability to take into account the way others perceive various aspects of a given situation.
|
9840_79
|
Another developmental perspective-taking theory was created by Robert L. Selman and entitled social
|
9840_80
|
perspective-taking theory (also known as Role-taking theory). This theory suggests that there are
|
9840_81
|
five developmental stages involved in perspective-taking ranging from ages 3–6 (characterized by
|
9840_82
|
egocentrism or an inability to think of things from another's point of view) to teenagers and
|
9840_83
|
adults (where people can understand another person's point of view and this understanding is
|
9840_84
|
informed by recognizing another person's environment and culture). The theory suggests that as
|
9840_85
|
humans age from childhood to adulthood their ability to perspective-take improves. Studies by
|
9840_86
|
Selman and colleagues suggest that children are able to perspective-take in different ways at
|
9840_87
|
different ages.

Other studies assess that children can begin to take on the viewpoint of another person considering
