Perspective-taking skills are crucial for successful social interactions and some autistic individuals seem to demonstrate great difficulty in this area. The concept continues to generate clinical and research interest across mainstream psychology and within behavior analysis. Within behavior analysis, relational frame theorists have argued that deictic relational responding is critically involved in perspective-taking. We conducted a systematic search of the behavior analytic studies on deictic relational responding and perspective-taking in autistic individuals to highlight methods used to test perspective-taking and deictic relations, methods to train these if deficits were observed, and evidence for a relationship between deictic relational responding and perspective-taking. Seven studies met inclusion criteria and we conducted a descriptive analysis of these studies. We found some variation in the methods used to test and train perspective-taking through deictic relations. Only three of the studies attempted to demonstrate a link between deictic relational responding and perspective-taking. Overall, our review highlighted a need for more research into deictic relational responding and perspective-taking in autistic individuals, and we discussed specific areas for future research.

换位思考技巧对于成功的社交互动至关重要，而一些自闭症患者似乎在这方面表现出很大的困难。这一概念继续在主流心理学和行为分析领域引起临床和研究兴趣。在行为分析中，关系框架理论家认为指示关系反应与观点采择密切相关。我们对自闭症个体指示性关系反应和观点采择的行为分析研究进行了系统的搜索，以突出用于测试观点采择和指示性关系的方法、在观察到缺陷时训练这些方法的方法，以及指示性关系之间关系的证据。关系响应和观点采择。七项研究符合纳入标准，我们对这些研究进行了描述性分析。我们发现通过指示关系测试和训练观点采择的方法存在一些差异。只有三项研究试图证明指示关系反应和观点采择之间的联系。总的来说，我们的评论强调需要对自闭症患者的指示性关系反应和观点采择进行更多研究，并且我们讨论了未来研究的具体领域。
