  • Title: Validity of the WCST-64 after traumatic brain injury in children.
    Author: Donders J, Wildeboer MA.
    Journal: Clin Neuropsychol; 2004 Dec; 18(4):521-7. PubMed ID: 15841955.
    Abstract:
    The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test-64 (WCST-64) is a recently normed modification of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) that utilizes only one deck of cards. The present study investigated the validity of the WCST-64 in a sample of fifty-six 10- to 16-year-old children with traumatic brain injury (TBI). Standard scores for perseverative responses from the WCST-64 and from the full-length WCST shared 83% of common variance. Less than 10% of this sample had a discrepancy between the respective indexes that was greater than one standard deviation. Correlations with external criteria such as length of coma and Full Scale IQ were not significantly different between the two versions of the instrument. The findings suggest that the WCST-64 may be used interchangeably with the original WCST in older children with TBI.
