Perspective Taking: Knowledge of Level 1 and Level 2 Rules by Congenitally Blind,Low Vision,and Sighted Children

This article reports on a study of the knowledge of the Level 1 and Level 2 rules of perspective taking by three groups of 8-year-old children with three visual conditions. Although all groups of children had knowledge of the Level 1 rules, their knowledge of the Level 2 rules was affected by their vision. Thus, the sighted children performed better than the children with low vision, and the children with low vision performed better than those who were congenitally blind.
