A modeling framework for adaptive lifelong learning with transfer and savings through gating in the prefrontal cortex (2020, methodology): “To demonstrate the properties of our framework, we chose the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task (WCST), a neuropsychological assessment of PFC function commonly used in clinic (2, 5, 48, 49).”
The Executive Decline Hypothesis of Cognitive Aging: Do Executive Deficits Qualify as Differential Deficits and Do They Mediate Age-Related Memory Decline? (2000, methodology): “This test is a variant on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST; Grant & Berg, 1948 ).”
Examining the Relationship between Executive Functions and Restricted, Repetitive Symptoms of Autistic Disorder (2005, methodology): “It was originally developed to assess abstract reasoning in normal individuals (Grant & Berg, 1948).”
A Developmental fMRI Study of the Stroop Color-Word Task (2002, background): “Prefrontal cortex lesions also produce deficits in response inhibition tasks (Grant and Berg, 1948; Malloy et al., 1993; Perret, 1974).”
How specific are executive functioning deficits in attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and autism? (2004, methodology): “At the second testing session, the Circle Drawing Task, SoP, Verbal Fluency, WCST, and the BVRT were administered.”
Assessment of Hot and Cool Executive Function in Young Children: Age-Related Changes and Individual Differences (2005, methodology): “That is, like DL–PFC patients on the WCST, 3-year-olds display what Teuber (see Discussion section in Milner, 1964) called “a curious dissociation between knowing and doing” (p. 333).”
The case for the development and use of “ecologically valid” measures of executive function in experimental and clinical neuropsychology (2006, methodology): “This test was developed (in almost its current form) by Esta Berg in 1948, and slightly modified by Grant and Berg (1948).”
