The Development of Perspective-Taking Abilities in Young Blind Children.

Farrenkopf, Carol; Davidson, Iain F. W. K.

RE:view, v24 n1 p7-22 1992

This study examined how 21 blind children (ages 3-8) performed perspective-taking tasks compared to 60 sighted children with and without blindfolds, under different conditions of distance and barriers. Results showed that, with increasing age, young blind children did not exhibit a significant increase in accurate perspective taking. (JDD)
