    This study provides developmental norms for the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) in children. By age 10, children’s WCST performance matches adult levels, aiding its use in child neuropsychology.

    Area of Science:

    • Neuropsychology
    • Developmental Psychology
    • Cognitive Neuroscience

    Background:

    • The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is crucial for assessing frontal lobe function in adults.
    • A lack of normative data has limited WCST's application in pediatric populations.
    • This study addresses the need for developmental norms in children.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To establish age-based developmental norms for the WCST in school-aged children.
    • To facilitate the clinical application of the WCST in pediatric neuropsychological assessments.
    • To provide a normative base for understanding cognitive development related to executive functions.

    Main Methods:

    • Administered the WCST to 105 school-age children.
    • Collected data on performance metrics including Categories Achieved, Perseverative Errors, and Failures to Maintain Set.

  • Analyzed data to establish age-specific developmental norms.

    • Main Results:

    • WCST performance in children aged 10 and older is comparable to that of normal adults.
    • Developmental trends in WCST performance correlate with neuroanatomical and cognitive maturation.
    • Established age-based norms for key WCST variables.

    Conclusions:

    • The study provides essential developmental norms for the WCST in children.
    • WCST can be reliably used in pediatric populations from age 10 onwards.
    • These norms enhance the WCST's utility as a neuropsychological tool for assessing executive functions in children.
