Entrenamiento en toma de perspectiva. Un diseño experimental de caso único

Abstract

The main objective of the present study is to analyze the generalized operant nature of the perspective taking ability and the possibility of arbitrary derivation under the control of contextual cues in a multiple exemplar training. It was implemented a training protocol on derived relational responding in four children between the ages of four and eight years. The instruments used were a training protocol on deictic frames and an evaluation protocol for theory of mind. The original procedure consisted of nine phases with several base line measures, various forms and training blocks and several theory of mind evaluations. The results show a general master in the personal and spatial dimensions of the perspective-taking ability and a better performance on the simple level of relational complexity, in addition to the generalization of the deictic response in three of the participants. Plus, the data contribute to the conceptual and empirical debate on the perspective-taking nature from de Relational Frame Theory.
