Any chance you can explain what the following variable names on the WSCT data refer to please? I am familiar withall the other data fields just not what the following refer to:
valueserror_C1 valueserror_F1 valueserror_N1 valueserror_C2 valueserror_F2 valueserror_N2 expressionsDiff_C1F1 expressionsDiff_F1N1 expressionsDiff_N1C2 expressionsDiff_C2F2 expressionsDiff_F2N2
I searched the literature and the two variables I need are 1. Categories completed (which is there) and 2. Perseverative errors. - this is not in the data. There is Sum_PerseverativeResponses but this refers to a different thing. I have looked at the research and also the WCST manual and have also talked to a clinical neuroscience professor who often uses the WCST and they can not make sense of this either .Please help Thank you,Prue
Those are explained throughout the comments in the script:
%error_C1/.../%error_N2: percent errors in the first color category ....percent errors in the second number category (etc.)
Diff_C1F1 etc.: difference scores of percent errors in adjacent categories
Thank you for your swift reply. May I ask where can I locate the "comments in the script"
Open the the WCST script in Inquisit (or any other text editor): There they are.
ok will do. Thank you very much
