Modified Wisconsin Card Sorting Test: proposal of a supplementary scoring method.
To assess categorizing ability, we propose a new scoring criterion for the MCST, the "categorizing efficiency", taking into account the number of cards used by the subject to complete a maximum of six categories. The advantage of adding that parameter to traditional ones is evaluated in a small population of normal children and adults and those affected with pathologies.
