Genetic influences on frontal brain function: WCST performance in twins.

Neuroreport - 27 Oct 2003

Anokhin Andrey P, Heath Andrew C, Ralano Angela

Abstract excerpt

The Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST) is one of the most widely used assessments of executive functioning related to prefrontal cortex. However, little is known about genetic and environmental determinants of individual differences in WCST performance. This study assessed heritability of standard WCST scores in a sample of 168 young female twins including 58 monozygotic and 25 dizygotic pairs. Several WSCT...
