Modified Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (MCST, MWCST): Normative Data in Children 4–13 Years Old, According to Classical and New Types of Scoring

摘要: According to Nelson's (1976) criteria, the MCST (MWCST) is a simplification of Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST). As particularly suitable for children, aim this study was establish normative data presently lacking that group. The administered 1126 normal children aged 4 13 years. Scoring based on all classical parameters, according existing plus two new ones we propose (“categorizing efficiency” and “categorizing efficiency plus”). Strong correlation (or inverse correlation) with age found most including criteria used perseverative responses. This does not occur “failure maintain set,” calculated usual criteria. “Categorizing plus” avoid ceiling effect occurring at higher ages in parameter categories. may be years above. Most, but all, its parameters show regular improvement age, d...
