Questions & Feedback
, Question 1
The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test can be described as a/n … test. Choose the most
correct answer.
(1) outcomes based
(2) criterion-referenced
(3) norm-referenced
(4) comparative
Option 3 is the correct answer.
The difference between a norm-referenced and a criterion-referenced test is
explained in Section 3.6 in the textbook. In the case of the Wisconsin Card Sorting
Test, the performance of an individual is compared to the performance of a
representative group (the norm group), and the test is therefore norm-referenced. To
be able to use the test in South Africa, the performance for a group that is
representative of the South African population should be determined (the aim of the
study by Gadd and Phipps, 2012). This group will then be a suitable norm group for
the local context.
Question 2
There are similarities and differences between the South African and the original
norm sample for the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test. Given the purpose of the test as a
neuropsychological measure, which characteristic implies that the local sample is
appropriate?
(1) language
(2) age
