[Pebl-list] WCST output

[Giovanni F. <gf...@uo...>]

I'm having trouble making sense of the raw data output for the BCST.

I know the 1st column is the ID; 2nd is the trial #; I think the 3rd  
is the set number...but after that I don't know what the numbers mean.  
  Can someone let me know.


How do I figure out a perseveration score.  Here's my thought:   Since  
the default is 5 consecutive correct response before a set change, can  
I look at the 3rd column and simply count how mnay trials, over and  
above the 5 continuous ones, were in each set...the total amount being  
the # of perseverations.

i.e.,   perseverations = total number of trials - [(number of sets) x 5]

Is this approach correct?

Thank you,
