Age-group differences in set-switching and set-maintenance on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task.
This study examined developmental change in set-switching and set-maintenance on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST), and sought to determine how executive function (EF) components (i.e., Working Memory, Shifting and Inhibition) may contribute to the observed changes on WCST performance. To this end, performance in four age groups (7-year-olds, 11-year-olds, 15-year-olds, and 21-year-olds) w...
متن کاملExploring age-related decline on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test.
It is well established that performance on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) tends to decline with advanced age, but the reason for this decline has not been established. The objective of the present study was to clarify this question using a qualitative approach to the task. The WCST was administered to 19 older adults and 25 younger participants. In addition to standard testing procedure...
متن کاملAttentional set shifting modulates the target P3b response in the Wisconsin card sorting test.
For years the Wisconsin card sorting test (WCST) has been used as a test of frontal lobe function. Recent event-related potential (ERP) research has shown large differences in the amplitude of P3b responses evoked by early and late trials within each WCST series ([8]: Barceló F., Sanz M., Molina V., Rubia FJ. The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test and the assessment of frontal function: A validation s...
متن کاملTask set switching in schizophrenia.
The authors used a task-switching paradigm to investigate set shifting ability in schizophrenia. This paradigm included 2 choice reaction time (RT) tasks: up-down and right-left. Switching tasks were associated with costs (i.e., longer RT in task-switch trials than in task-repetition trials); patients responded more slowly than controls and suffered greater switching costs, were as efficient as...
متن کاملDissociating stimulus-set and response-set in the context of task-set switching.
The primary aim of the present research was to determine how stimulus-set and response-set components of task-set contribute to switch costs and conflict processing. Three experiments are described wherein participants completed an explicitly cued task-switching procedure. Experiment 1 established that task switches requiring a reconfiguration of both stimulus- and response-set incurred larger ...
