在32例精神分裂症患者中，将宾夕法尼亚条件排除测验（PCET）的表现与威斯康星州卡片分类测验（WCST）的表现进行了比较。在分析1中，PCET和WCST与其他几个标准的神经心理学措施，以评估收敛和发散的有效性。结果显示，类别实现和总错误的PCET密切相关的类似措施从WCST。通过PCET和快速视觉排序，言语学习和心理速度的措施之间的非显着相关性支持发散效度。在分析2中，PCET，WCST和职业功能的详细测量，工作行为量表（WBI）之间的关系进行了比较。结果显示，这两个执行功能的措施有关的工作职能的具体方面，在职业环境中测量。更具体地说，类别实现和总错误的WCST和PCET有关的措施合作的工作。PCET上的错误也与工作质量的测量和工作的一般印象有关。这些结果提供了第一个证据的标准相关的有效性的PCET，是越来越多的文献的一部分，这表明执行功能和工作技能的措施性能之间的关系。(C)2003 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
Performance on the Penn Conditional Exclusion Test (PCET), a new computerized measure of executive function with alternate forms, was compared with performance on the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) in a sample of 32 patients with schizophrenia. In Analysis 1, the PCET and WCST were administered with several other standard neuropsychological measures to assess convergent and divergent validity. Results revealed that categories achieved and total errors on the PCET were closely related to analogous measures from the WCST. Divergent validity was supported through nonsignificant correlations between the PCET and measures of speeded visual sequencing, verbal learning and psychomotor speed. In Analysis 2, the relationship between the PCET, WCST and a detailed measure of vocational function, the Work Behavior Inventory (WBI), was compared. Results revealed that both executive-function measures were related to specific dimensions of work function as measured in a vocational setting. More specifically, categories achieved and total errors on both the WCST and PCET were related to measures of cooperativeness on the job. Errors on the PCET were also related to measurements of work quality and general impressions of work. These results provide the first evidence of criterion-related validity for the PCET and are part of a growing literature suggesting a relationship between performance on measures of executive function and work skills.
