The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test® has been widely used with many different patient groups. Recently, concerns for patient comfort, managed care, and tighter research budgets have encouraged both clinicians and researchers to use shorter test batteries. The WCST-64 uses only the first 64 WCST™ cards, thereby shortening the administration time for most individuals while retaining the task requirements of the standard version. The WCST-64™ also eliminates variability in the number of cards administered, facilitating straightforward comparisons of test-retest stability and comparisons of individual test results with normative and validity data.
WCST-64™ normative, reliability, and validity data are derived from the same samples described in the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test Manual-Revised and Expanded (Heaton, Chelune, Talley, Kay & Curtiss, 1993). The standardization sample comprises 452 children and 445 adults. Individual WCST protocols were obtained and re-scored for the first 64 cards administered.
Raw scores with corresponding demographically-corrected normative data for the WCST-64™ variables are provided in the WCST-64™ Professional Manual. Also included is a special section comparing the WCST and the WCST-64™ regarding the administration time, test results, normative data, and clinical applications.
