Developmental norms for the wisconsin card sorting test in 5-to 12-year-old children.

The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) (Berg, 1948; Heaton, 1981) was given to 233 five-to 12-year-old normal children. Participants' characteristics were balanced according to: (a) age, (b) socioeconomic status, and (c) gender. An academic achivement questionnaire was also administered. No significant differences between socioeconomic and gender groups were observed. Nonperseverative Errors, Errors, and Categories Achieved scores correlated with academic achievement in different areas. Developmental norms for the WCST are presented.
