This study investigated effects of stimuli in the dimensional change card-sorting task (DCCS task) of Zelazo and colleagues. There is evidence that young preschoolers' difficulty on this task is caused by conflicting first-phase cues for the target cards, but these findings have not been replicated. We examined whether conflicting first-phase cues for the target cards caused young children's ( N = 44, M = 43.3 mo., SD = 2.5) perseveration errors. In the present experiment, we compared a No Conflict condition, in which children did not encounter conflicting first-phase cues, with a Conflict condition (standard task). Analysis indicated that children in the No Conflict condition showed significantly better performance than those in the Conflict condition. This result suggested that children's perseveration errors on the task were, in part, caused by the conflicting first-phase cues for the target cards.

Impaired cognitive flexibility in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) has been reported in previous literature. The present study explored ASD children’s visual scanning patterns during the Dimensional Change Card Sorting (DCCS) task using eye-tracking technique. ASD and typical developing (TD) children completed the standardized DCCS procedure on the computer while their eye movements were tracked. Behavioral results confirmed previous findings on ASD children’s deficits in executive function. ASD children’s visual scanning patterns also showed some specific underlying processes in the DCCS task compared to TD children. For example, ASD children looked shorter at the correct card in the postswitch phase and spent longer time at blank areas than TD children did. ASD children did not show a bias to the color dimension as TD children did. The correlations between the behavioral performance and eye moments were also discussed.

Institutionalized mentally retarded adolescents and young adults ( N = 80) performed on a card-sorting task immediately preceding and following a series of neutral, success, total failure or partial failure experiences. As predicted, the success group demonstrated an increment in performance, the total failure group showed no change in performance, and the partial failure group showed a decrement in performance.

SummaryThis study compared matched groups of patients with acute schizophrenia and with depression on three tests used in the assessment of schizophrenic thinking disorder. Most measures derived from these tests significantly differentiated the groups; however, within the schizophrenic group there were no significant correlations between scores on the three tests. Further data were available from a choice reaction-time card-sorting task, from which estimates of distractability, stimulus decision time, response decision time, and movement time, were obtained. Only one significant relation was found between these measures and scores on the clinical tests. The possible confounding effects of intelligence and responsiveness are discussed. It is argued that more direct measures of the latter are preferable to interpreting tests of thinking disorder in terms of information processing deficits.
