Improving schizophrenic in-patients' Wisconsin card-sorting performance

H Nisbet et al. Br J Clin Psychol. 1996 Nov.

Abstract

The effectiveness of a training procedure to improve schizophrenic patients' Wisconsin Card Sorting Test performance was investigated. In the absence of the monetary incentive often employed, 10 schizophrenic in-patients' performance improved with training. This study provides further evidence that the cognitive deficiency associated with the frontal lobe, implied by schizophrenic patients' typically poor Wisconsin Card-Sorting Test performance, is remediable.
