This project investigates automatic perspective taking by utilizing the Dot Perspective Task developed by Samson and colleagues in 2010 (https://psycnet.apa.org/doi/10.1037/a0018729). There has ben a debate as to whether the interference from another person's perspective when judging scenes form one's own (measured by increased error rates and slower responses) is due to automatically processing what other people see in the context of theory of mind and social cognition or is it purely due to domain-general processes (diverted attention). Through 3 experiments we manipulate task characteristics (avatar type, directional cues) in a modified Dot Perspective Task in order to disambiguate between these two options.
