Relationships among demographic variables and Wisconsin Card Sorting Test performance: A meta-analysis

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

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...

Wisconsin Card Sorting Test with children: a meta-analytic study of sensitivity and specificity.

More and more frequently the presence of executive function deficits appears in the research literature in conjunction with disabilities that affect children. Research has been most directed at the extent to which executive function deficits may be implicated in specific disorders such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD); however, deficits in executive function have been found to...

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...
