Performance of a Brazilian sample on the computerized Wisconsin Card Sorting Test.

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...

Does the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test Measure

Exploring 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...

Latent structure of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test in a clinical sample.

The aims of this study were to: (a) examine the consistency of the published Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) factor structures; (b) determine the factor structure of the WCST in a large, heterogeneous sample; and (c) compare the WCST factor analytically with other neuropsychological procedures. Two WCST factors (concept formation/perseveration and Failure-to-Maintain-Set [FMS]) were consiste...

emotional intelligence and prefrontal cortex: a comparative study based on wisconsin card sorting test (wcst)

ôbjective: ëmotional intelligence (ëï) is a set of competencies that enable us to engage in sophisticated information processing of emotions and emotion-relevant stimuli and to use this information as a guide for thinking and behavior. prefrontal cortexes (pfç) of brain and related regions have an important role in emotion and emotional regulation. âccordingly, we conducted a study to investiga...
