Re: [Pebl-list] WCST

[Shane M. <smu...@ob...>]

The version of the test I distribute can do either 64 or 128 cards,
depending on a setting inside the script file (just open cardsort.pbl in a
text editor like wordpad, and it should be fairly easy to see what to
change).  The raw trial-by-trial data are saved in a file that can be
loaded into excel and/or SPSS, although I don't use SPSS so I'm not sure
how.   There is no charge for the software--just go to the  download page,
install, and the test will be installed to My
Documents\pebl-exp.0.9\battery\bcst.  Run the launcher from the start
menu, then navigate within the launcher to battery\bcst, select
cardsort.pbl, and run it.  (try doing it non-fullscreen first to verify it
works).

Currently, the experiment does not pause after 64 cards to allow
instruction about the rule.  This would be fairly easy to add--probably by
adding a couple lines to the script.  If you need help doing this, let me
know and I can tell you what to do.
