Validity of automated versus standard forms of the Wisconsin card sorting test in psychiatric patients

Does the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test Measure

The role of attention in Wisconsin Card Sorting Test performance.

The present study sought to test the hypothesis that the second factor (consisting of Failure-to-Maintain-Set and other scores) found in two recent factor analyses of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test reflects attentional function. The effect of color overlays (an experimental manipulation known to influence neural systems linked to attention) was examined in 17 normal control and 14 attention-di...

the utility of the wisconsin card sorting test in differential diagnosis of cognitive disorders in iranian psychiatric patients and healthy subjects.

the wisconsin test card sorting test (wcst) is a neuropsychological test that has been suggested as a more specific test for frontal lobes dysfunctions. this study was designed to determine whether wcst is able to differentiate between iranian psychiatric patients with cognitive disorders and normal subjects, and whether wcst scores are related to severity of symptoms in depressive and schizoph...

Use of Wisconsin Card Sorting Test short forms with school-age children.

Short forms of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) have been developed and studied in adult populations, however studies addressing their use in children are lacking. This study compared the full WCST to two short forms in a sample of 174 school-age children who were referred for neuropsychological evaluation. Multiple regression was used to predict standard scores (SSs) on the full WCST. Pe...

Perceptual aberrations, schizotypy, and the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test.

This study examined performance on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) by 23 schizotypic subjects and 28 normal control subjects. Schizotypy was measured on the Perceptual Aberration Scale (PAS). Overall, schizotypic (high PAS) subjects performed more poorly than control (low PAS) subjects on the WCST; specifically, schizotypic subjects showed deficits on the failure-to-maintain-set and numb...
