“…To put it another way, a person would find it difficult to relate two relational responses to one another if they could not "locate" those relational responses in a specific time and space. Indeed, Kavanagh et al (2020) recently elaborated this argument in their conceptual RFT analysis of a false belief perspective-taking task.…”

“…Approaching rule persistence from this perspective has also led to substantive conceptual developments in this area (Harte & Barnes-Holmes, 2021a; Harte, Barnes-Holmes, Barnes-Holmes, & Kissi, 2020). As another example, the interpretation of patterns of IRAP effects in the context of perspective-taking and deictic relational responding has also benefited from these analyses (Kavanagh et al, 2018(Kavanagh et al, , 2019 as well as conceptual interpretations of theory of mind tasks (Kavanagh et al, 2020). More recently, conceptual analyses of the symbolic self and altered states of consciousness have also yielded to a HDML analysis (Harte & Barnes-Holmes, 2021c).…”

The seminal text on relational frame theory (RFT) was published 20 years ago and purported to offer a single overarching behavior-analytic account of human language and cognition. In the years thereafter, an increasing number of empirical and conceptual articles, book chapters in edited volumes, and whole volumes devoted to the account emerged. In recent years, RFT has experienced a period of intense empirical and conceptual development, facilitated in part by a research grant awarded by the Flanders Science Foundation, under its Odysseus program. This research program aimed to advance and extend the RFT account beyond the rendition presented in the seminal Hayes et al. ( 2001) volume. The current article aims to provide an overview of this research program, the empirical work and concepts it gave rise to, and their implications for an RFT account of human symbolic language and cognition. Overall, therefore, the article provides an account of relatively recent developments in RFT that extend beyond the 2001 volume and thus will, we hope, inform future research and critiques of the theory going forward.

“…In a recent review of the BH protocol undertaken by proponents of the BH protocol, Guinther's research was acknowledged, but his criticisms of the BH protocol were not addressed or even acknowledged (Kavanagh et al, 2020). The self-other distinction is not trivial, but distinguishing between self and others is only one of many prerequisite skills involved in perspective taking.…”

Perspective taking has been studied extensively using a wide variety of experimental tasks. The theoretical constructs that are used to develop these tasks and interpret the results obtained from them, most notably theory of mind (ToM), have conceptual shortcomings from a behavior-analytic perspective. The behavioral approach to conceptualizing and studying this class of behavior is parsimonious and pragmatic, but the body of relevant research is currently small. The prominent relational frame theory (RFT) approach to derived perspective taking asserts that "deictic framing" is a core component of this class of behavior, but this proposal also appears to be conceptually problematic. We suggest that in many cases perspective taking is problem solving; when successful, both classes of behavior involve the emission of context-appropriate precurrent behavior that facilitates the appropriate response (i.e., the "solution"). Conceptualizing perspective taking in this way appears to have many advantages, which we explore herein.Keywords deictic framing . mind reading . precurrent behavior . stimulus control . theory of mind . visual perspective taking Perspective taking is an ability of critical importance that helps us establish and maintain relationships, negotiate deals, predict the actions of others, and achieve a wide variety of other valuable outcomes. This ability has been studied extensively by psychologists, who have approached the topic using many different theoretical constructs and experimental procedures. In this work, we present some common theoretical and experimental approaches to perspective taking, followed by a description of a behavioral approach to perspective taking and problem solving. In brief, problem solving relies on the emission of overt or covert behaviors that produce supplementary stimuli that in turn evoke

“…A RFT compreende a tomada de perspectiva como uma habilidade complexa, composta pelos diferentes repertórios que envolvem molduras (respostas relacionais) dêiticas. Essa habilidade pode ser compreendida como as capacidades de interpretar, compreender e prever os comportamentos, pensamentos e emoções de si mesmo e dos outros, assumindo a perspectiva requisitada (Kavanagh et al, 2020). Os repertórios envolvidos seriam os três tipos de molduras dêiticas relacionais (MDR): pessoal (Eu/Você), espacial (Aqui/Ali) e temporal (Agora/Depois).…”

“…A elaboração do BH-PTP permitiu uma abordagem inteiramente nova para a tomada de perspectiva, cuja parte majoritária das investigações ocorriam sob o prisma da psicologia cognitiva, através do conceito de Teoria da Mente (ToM). Esta pode ser conceituada como a habilidade de explicar e prever comportamentos através de atribuição de estados mentais a outros e a si mesmo (Kavanagh et al, 2020); uma tarefa tradicional de ToM pode envolver uma série de imagens da região dos olhos de faces humanas e os participantes devem indicar pensamentos ou emoções associadas aos sujeitos das imagens (Baron-Cohen et al, 2001), ou, com a apresentação de diferentes histórias, solicitando o participante a responder sobre as crenças ou falsas--crenças dos personagens envolvidos (Hendriks et al, 2016).…”

A tomada de perspectiva pode ser compreendida como a habilidade de interpretar, compreender e prever os comportamentos, pensamentos e emoções de si mesmo e dos outros, assumindo a perspectiva requisitada, sendo uma habilidade central no processo de socialização humana e déficits nessa capacidade estão associados a prejuízos nas habilidades sociais. Evidências apontam que o responder relacional arbitrariamente aplicável possui um papel significativo na tomada de perspectiva. O trabalho teve como objetivo analisar os protocolos de tomada de perspectiva baseados na RFT. Foram realizadas buscas em seis bases de dados, com 12 artigos selecionados para revisão. Foram registrados 4 protocolos diferentes, com duas abordagens teórico-conceituais divergentes. Os resultados são consistentes com os demais estudos, reforçando as evidências sobre a capacidade de aquisição dos repertórios por condicionamento operante, produção de respostas derivadas, e a existência de diferentes níveis de complexidade das molduras dêiticas, porém, os efeitos dos protocolos nas tarefas de teoria da mente ainda são inconsistentes. Por fim, algumas considerações sobre as atuais limitações e sobre o desenvolvimento da agenda de pesquisa do campo são sinalizadas.
