We obtained Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) scores on 91 (35 male and 56 female) healthy, well-educated individuals aged 45 to 83. Women scored better than men on six WCST scores (categories, errors, perseverative responses, % perseverative errors, % conceptual level responses, and trials to first category), while subjects with more than 16 years of education outscored those limited to high school education on four measures (perseverative responses, errors, % perseverative errors, % conceptual level responses). Individuals older than 70 years of age scored less well than younger subjects on only two indices (errors, % conceptual level responses). Full Scale IQ was not related to WCST scores. Our findings suggest that WCST scores should be interpreted within the context of patient gender, education, and age.
我们获取了91名(35名男性和56名女性)年龄在45至83岁之间、健康且受过良好教育的个体的威斯康星卡片分类测试(WCST)分数。在六项WCST分数(类别、错误、持续性反应、持续性错误百分比、概念水平反应百分比以及首次分类的试验次数)上,女性得分高于男性;而在四项指标(持续性反应、错误、持续性错误百分比、概念水平反应百分比)上,接受教育超过16年的受试者得分高于仅接受高中教育的受试者。70岁以上的个体仅在两项指标(错误、概念水平反应百分比)上得分低于年轻受试者。全量表智商与WCST分数无关。我们的研究结果表明,WCST分数应在患者的性别、教育程度和年龄背景下进行解读。
