I'm getting used to work with inquisit 4, to analyse the WCST but I can't seem to find the perseverative error's percentage in inquisit. I can find the perseverative response percentage but for me is not as important as the other. <br />Do I have to take the number of perseverative errors and calculate myself the percentage? <br />Can someone tell me exactly what line should I look to analyse my patients perseveratives errors? <br />Thank you very much,<br /><br />Mélanie Tue, 29 Sep 2015 10:51:03 GMTMelanie89https://forums.millisecond.com/Topic17287.aspxhi Melanie,<br/><br/>if your version of the Inquisit WCST script does not compute Perseverative Errors (older versions might not), you probably have to compute them yourself based on the raw data file. A note of caution even if your script version does compute the number of Perseverative Errors: it's probably a good idea to check how&nbsp; (summary) values are defined in the Inquisit script to make sure they actually measure what you need them to. <br/><br/>For example: as defined in the Inquisit WCST script under section VALUES/DATA<br/>PerseverativeResponse:<br/>1 =&nbsp; response is still in compliance with the old rule after a rule switch (and no response bas been made yet that violates the old rule)<br/>0 = anything else<br/>Perseverative Error:<br/>an actual error response when values.PerseverativeResponse = 1<br/><br/>as usual:&nbsp; we are happy to update/improve our scripts if we learn of new information!<br/><br/>best,<br/>katja<br/>(script writer at Millisecond Software)<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>Tue, 29 Sep 2015 10:51:03 GMTkatbo
