, In the article by Gadd and Phipps (2012), they refer to the challenges faced by psychological and,
specifically, neuropsychological assessment. Their study focused on a preliminary standardisation of the
Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (a non-verbal measure) for Setswana- speaking university students. The US
normative sample is described as participants (N = 899) aged 18 to 29 years who were screened
beforehand to exclude individuals with a history of neurological, learning, emotional and attention
difficulties. The South African sample consisted of university students (N = 93) from both genders,
between the ages of 18 and 29, who were screened in terms of hearing and visual impairments and any
history of psychiatric or neurological difficulties. These students were from the University of Limpopo,
Medunsa Campus. Answer Questions 1 to 8.
