    Abstract

    From a relational frame perspective, a child learns to discriminate her own behavior and the behavior of others through a history of exemplar training in arbitrarily applicable relational responding. The current paper argues that the emergence of deictic relations such as “I and you”, “here and there”, and “now and then” is critical to the development of perspective-taking. The paper also suggests that behavior analysis may have an important contribution to make to the study of perspective-taking, and may provide a functional-analytic account of what is sometimes referred to as “theory of mind. ”
