The advanced version of the Dimensional Change Card Sort task by Zelazo (2006) used to measure executive functioning in children as young as 3. This version replaces border cues with verbal cues before each trial.
The complete version of the Dimensional Change Card Sort task by Zelazo (2006). The complete version runs the standard version, and if they pass, continues with the advanced version.
