Effects of Training Spatial Perspective-Taking on Use of Body Movement in a Mapping Task

Jennifer Lynn Norris
The current study sought to determine whether a perspective-taking intervention led to an increased use of body movement in 8- to 9- year olds while solving a mapping task. In addition, we explored whether an increase in body movement was related to better performance on the task. The study indicated that children who used body movement to solve the mapping task performed significantly better on the task.
