| Abstract: | Gave 3 groups of 60 children (6, 8, and 10 yrs of age) a perspectives task. Results provide some support for the hypothesis that the acquisition of perspective-taking skills in a Piagetian-type perspectives task follows 3 sequential steps: At first young children can correctly represent only the location of the object nearest another observer; later, they can correctly represent a before–behind relationship between objects as seen by another observer; last, they are able to represent a left–right relationship between objects as seen by another observer.
