改良卡片分类测验(MCST)是威斯康星卡片分类测验的简称，由Nelson于1976年提出，是一种神经心理学测验，广泛应用于临床环境中，用于评估局灶性、创伤性和退行性脑部疾病患者的执行功能。本研究旨在以248名年龄在20岁至90岁、受教育程度和性别分布均匀的健康人为样本，收集MCST的规范数据。通过计算参与者获得的类别数量和持续性错误的数量，对MCST的表现进行评分。多元回归分析表明，年龄和教育程度对类别数和持久性错误有显着影响，而性别没有显着影响。然后确定截止分数，并计算类别数量和持续性错误的等价分数。MCST的非本地数据的可用性对于测试局灶性、创伤性和退行性脑部疾病患者的临床环境将非常有价值。参考标准的使用将允许更好地描述患者受损和备用能力的特征。
The Modified Card Sorting Test (MCST), a shortened version of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test, proposed by Nelson in 1976 is a neuropsychological test that is widely used in clinical settings for the evaluation of executive functions in patients with focal, traumatic and degenerative brain diseases. Despite its frequent use, normative data for the MCST are scant.The aim of this study was to collect normative data for the MCST on a sample including 248 healthy individuals ranging from 20 to 90 years of age and equally distributed for education level and sex (124 males and 124 females). Performance on the MCST was scored by computing the number of categories achieved by a participant, and the number of perseverative errors. Multiple regression analyses revealed a significant effect of age and education on the number of categories and perseverative errors but no effect of sex. Cut-off scores were then determined and equivalent scores computed for both the number of categories and the perseverative errors.The availability of non-native data for the MCST will be very valuable in clinical settings for testing patients with focal, traumatic and degenerative brain diseases. The use of reference norms will permit a better characterisation of a patient's impaired and spared abilities.
