Abstract
A review of the literature pertaining to spatial perspective-taking is presented. Its purpose is to account for the inconsistent findings that have plagued this area of research by focusing on the methodological differences between studies. The conclusions reached are threefold. First, methodological differences are at least in part responsible for the widely discrepant results that have been reported. Second, the amount of variation due to each methodological concern cannot be quantified precisely due to the problem of confounding. Third, a viable measure from which the development of perspective ability can legitimately be inferred cannot be conclusively identified within the perspective-taking literature.
