The classic version of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) consists of correctly sorting 128 cards according to changing sorting criteria. Its application is costly in terms of the time employed, with all the negative consequences this entails (decrease in motivation, frustration, and fatigue).
The main objective of this study was to test the usefulness of the shortened version of the WCST as compared to the full test by analyzing the equivalence between the two decks comprising the full 128-card version on a sample of patients diagnosed with sporadic late onset Alzheimer disease (SLOAD) and to check its clinical usefulness.
The variables showed equivalence between the two decks and their ability to differentiate between the control group (CG) and the Alzheimer disease (AD) group.
The scores obtained suggest equivalence between decks and that the application of only the first deck is sufficient.
威斯康星卡片分类测验(WCST)的经典版本包括根据不断变化的分类标准正确分类 128 张卡片。它的应用在时间上成本很高,这会带来所有负面后果(降低动机、挫折感和疲劳感)。
本研究的主要目的是通过分析包含完整的 128 张卡片版本的两个套牌之间的等效性,来测试 WCST 缩短版与完整测试的有用性,在一组被诊断为散发性晚发性阿尔茨海默病(SLOAD)的患者样本中进行检查,并检查其临床实用性。
两个套牌之间的变量表现出等效性,以及它们区分对照组(CG)和阿尔茨海默病(AD)组的能力。
所得分数表明套牌之间具有等效性,并且仅应用第一套牌就足够了。
