It has been proposed that frontal lobe dysfunction may be responsible for many deficits observed in children with attention‐deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The most widely accepted measure of executive function in adults is the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST; Heaton, 1981). The WCST has been interpreted as a measure of frontal lobe functioning in children as well. Although a number of studies have lent support to the involvement of the frontal lobes in developmental behavior disorders, results have not been consistently replicated using the WCST and other measures. Further, the sensitivity and specificity of the WCST as a measure of frontal lobe dysfunction has not been consistently demonstrated. The purpose of this study was to explore the relationship between performance on the WCST and behavioral measures commonly employed in the diagnosis of developmental behavior disorders a... |
