Used primarily to assess perseveration and abstract thinking, the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is also considered a measure of executive function because of its reported sensitivity to frontal lobe dysfunction.
As such, the WCST allows you to assess your client’s strategic planning; organised searching; and ability to utilise environmental feedback to shift cognitive sets, direct behaviour toward achieving a goal, and modulate impulsive responding.
Four stimulus cards incorporate three stimulus parameters (colour, form, and number). Respondents are required to sort numbered response cards according to different principles and to alter their approach during test administration. To complete the task, clients should have normal or corrected vision and hearing sufficient to adequately comprehend the instructions and to visually discriminate the stimulus parameters.
PARiConnect allows you to administer on-screen in your office, to e-mail an invitation to take an assessment wherever your client may be, or allows you to easily populate responses from a paper-and-pencil administration by entering item-level responses (assessment dependent - some assessments can only be scored online via PARiConnect).
Please note administration and reports are purchased separately. Please see below for more information:
