N2 - People sometimes commit ‘egocentric errors’, failing to ignore their own perspective when interpreting others' communication. Training imitation- inhibition, when participants perform the opposite action from another person, facilitates subsequent perspective-taking in adults. This study tested whether imitation-inhibition training also facilitates perspective-taking in 3- to 6-year- olds, an age where egocentric perspective may be particularly inf luential. Children participated in a 10-min imitation-inhibition, imitation, or non-social-inhibition training (white, n= 25 per condition, 33 female, period: 2018–2021), then the communicative-perspective-taking Director task. Training had a significant effect (F(2, 71) = 3.316, p= .042, η2= .085): on critical trials, the imitation-inhibition- group selected the correct object more often than the other groups. Imitation- inhibition training specifically enhanced the perspective-taking process possibly by highlighting the distinction between self and other.
