The host for this talk is Nicky Clayton

Perspective taking, whether in the classic ‘Theory of Mind’ sense or in the more perceptual domain (e.g. visual perspective taking) has long been considered a cornerstone of social cognition. Recent years have given rise to new research threads, such as ‘spontaneous’ perspective taking, perceptual simulation (quasi-perceptual experiences of others’ perceptual input), and embodied or ‘grounded’ processes, particularly in spatial perspective taking paradigms. Focusing in particular on visuo-spatial perspective taking, in this talk I will present evidence for or against each of these hypotheses, argue for the separation of perceptual and cognitive perspective taking, and highlight the increasingly clear importance of individual differences.

This talk is part of the Zangwill Club series.
