Abstract
This study poses the question of whether basic oral interpretation course work can serve as a training method to increase perspective‐taking abilities. A task was designed to assess changes in the perspective‐taking abilities of control, regular, and experimental classes. The results suggest that regular oral interpretation course work had no effect on measured perspective‐taking abilities but an oral interpretation course specifically designed to increase perspective‐taking abilities had the predicted effect.Keywords
