Perceptual perspective taking in children who are blind: The state of research and a single-case study

Department of Psychology, PO Box 100 131, 33501, University of Bielefeld, Germany m.brambring{at}uni-bielefeld.de

Perceptual perspective taking is regarded as a major milestone in sociocognitive development that sighted children have generally mastered by the age of 4-5 years. In children who are blind, however, most prior research reports a strong developmental delay of several years compared with sighted peers. After examining the current state of research, this article presents a single-case study of a congenitally blind 36-month-old girl. An analysis of her behavior in stills from a videotaped developmental testing sequence confirms that Level-1 perspective taking may be acquired at an earlier age than previous experimental research would suggest.
