Comparability of the WCST and WCST-64 in the Assessment of First-Episode Psychosis

Findings suggest that NPE scores may be comparable across both tests, whereas the PR score from the WCST-64 can be used as a gross measure of impairment, this score should not be used interchangeably to characterize the severity of perseverative tendencies in first-episode patients on a case-by-case basis.

Typical performance of elderlypatients with Alzheimer disease on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST)

Specific aspects of performance on the WCST by elderly people with AD are demonstrated, highlighting the effect of the disease on cognitive performance and executive functioning.

Use of the WCST and the WCST-64 in the Assessment of Traumatic Brain Injury

The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test-64 performed comparably in predicting functional status at discharge from inpatient rehabilitation using the first score from a principal components analysis as a summary measure and support the use of the WCST-64 in early evaluations of persons with moderate and severe TBI.

Abbreviated Form of the Wisconsin Card Sort Test

In a sample of 145 consecutive subjects referred for neuropsychological testing, the data obtained strongly suggests that multiple regression equations can reliably predict WCST whole test scores from a 64 or a 96-item version of the test.

The findings support the use of the WCST-64 in elderly persons with AD and PD and to the subtle executive deficits demonstrated by persons with PD without dementia.

Utility of nelson’s modified card sorting test in patients with alzheimer’s disease or vascular dementia

It is suggested that cognitive function appears to significantly impair MCST performances in AD and VD patients, so these should be taken into consideration during an interpretation of the clinical assessment.

Validity of the WCST-64 After Traumatic Brain Injury in Children

The findings suggest that the WCST-64 may be used interchangeably with the original WCST in older children with TBI, and with external criteria such as length of coma and Full Scale IQ were not significantly different.

Construct Validity of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test-64 in Patients with Stroke

The results indicated that the WCST-64 was best represented by a three-dimensional model comprising response inflexibility, ineffective hypothesis-testing strategy, and set maintenance.
