在对反馈使用、工作记忆和感知比较速度进行统计学控制前后，研究了威斯康星州卡片分类测验（WCST）测量结果的年龄差异。在控制反馈使用、工作记忆和感知比较速度测量结果后，与WCST表现的汇总测量结果相关的年龄相关方差的比例大大降低。此外，与年龄相关的方差与反馈使用措施减少后，控制工作记忆和感知比较速度的措施。这些结果是一致的想法，年龄相关的性能差异在WCST部分介导的成年人年龄差异的反馈使用和反馈使用的年龄差异介导的工作记忆中的年龄差异，这反过来又介导的年龄相关的减少处理速度，指标的感知比较速度。
Adult age differences in Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) measures were examined before and after statistical control of age-related differences in measures of feedback usage, working memory, and perceptual-comparison speed, The proportion of age-related variance associated with a summary measure of WCST performance was greatly reduced after controlling for measures of feedback usage, working memory, and perceptual-comparison speed. Furthermore, the age-related variance associated with the feedback-usage measure was reduced after controlling for working memory and perceptual-comparison speed measures. These results are consistent with the idea that age-related performance differences in the WCST are partially mediated by adult age differences in feedback usage and that age differences in feedback usage are mediated by age differences in working memory, which are in turn mediated by age-related reductions in processing speed, indexed by measures of perceptual-comparison speed.
