Basic Perspective-Taking (I/YOU) Stories with People & Places
This program teaches deictic perspective-taking (I/You and Here/There) using brief two-sentence stories that state only where two people are (e.g., ‘Jack is at the park. Jill is at the grocery store.’). For each story, the learner first answers literal comprehension questions (who is at which place). The learner then answers perspective-taking switch questions where the people are swapped (e.g., Jack becomes Jill and Jill becomes Jack) and/or the place labels are swapped (e.g., park becomes grocery store and grocery store becomes park), and must state the updated place based on the switch. Responses are scored for accuracy to show flexible perspective shifting under changing cues.
