Abstract: Perspective-taking is the ability of individuals to represent the world that other people see or the world they see. Individuals always automatically activate their own perspectives when judging the perspectives of others. But when individuals take their own perspectives, they do not always automatically activate the perspectives of others. Research shows that when taking one's own perspectives, adults and children can automatically perform level-1 visual perspective-taking, while the level-2 visual perspective-taking is not automatic. In addition, adults can automatically perform spatial perspective-taking. Future studies need to continue to explore the influencing factors of the automaticity of level-1 visual perspective-taking, whether experimental settings and individual factors will affect the automaticity of level-2 visual perspective-taking, the developmental trajectory and the influencing factors of spatial perspective-taking, whether the automaticity of perspective-taking is related to the strategies used by subjects when completing the tasks, and the developmental mechanism and the brain mechanism of the automaticity of perspective-taking.

Key words: visual perspective-taking, spatial perspective-taking, automaticity
