Perspective-Taking (I/YOU) Stories with People, Places and Actions
This program teaches deictic perspective-taking (I/You and Here/There) using brief two-sentence stories. For each story, the learner first answers literal comprehension questions (who went where and what they did). 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 store and store becomes park), and must state the updated place or action based on the switch. Responses are scored for accuracy to show flexible perspective shifting under changing cues.
