A modeling framework for adaptive lifelong learning with transfer and savings through gating in the prefrontal cortex (2020, positive): “Using the same criteria, we also tested the effects of the lesions with the subset of cards excluding ambiguous cards, as in the Modified Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (5, 55) and found qualitatively similar results (SI Appendix, Fig.”
The Prefrontal Cortex (1997, background): “All these functions can be impaired in a prefrontal syndrome, and it is probably for this reason that performance on the WCST may be faulty not only as a result of lateral lesions (Milner, 1963, 1964; Drewe, 1974; Nelson, 1976) but also after orbitomedial lesions (Stuss et al., 1982).”

Executive Function and the Frontal Lobes: A Meta-Analytic Review (2006, background): “A moderating effect of age was predicted based on several studies that found significant correlations between executive function measures and age of participants (Anderson et al., 1991; Axelrod and Henry, 1992; Berg, 1948; Bryan and Luszcz, 2000; Crockett et al., 1986; Grafman and Litvan, 1999; Heat”
Perseverative behavior and adaptive control in older adults: performance monitoring, rule induction, and set shifting. (2002, methodology): “Nelson (1976) reported a study using a modified WCST in which an important aspect of performance monitoring was brought under control, but in which rule induction and set-shifting requirements were left intact (unlike the Duncan et al. study).”
