Talk:Iowa gambling task

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brilliant work on making this article and the picture is very good. I have one slight reservation however. I don't think we should give away the structure of the task. I originally linked to the IGT off of some edits I made on orbitofrontal cortex but didn't write it until I'd had clearance from Antoine Bechara to use a screengrab from the test (included). In it I asked for his comments on the OFC article which he said was fine, and he asked that we keep the structure of the task opaque. Similarly whilst I think the WCST is now much better I worry that by giving the game away we could impact upon the validity of others' research. I know you can find out the structure of both tasks other places, but this makes it VERY easy to find out. Bring on the flames... --PaulWicks 13:56, 7 April 2006 (UTC)

This page should have a warning as it basically destroys test integrity in anyone that may need to take it! I am a compulsive hoarder, and based on PubMed articles I came to look here, as they notice reduced scores on this. This is the test I did not have during a neuropsych exam, and now that I know how it works it would be of little use to me or my doctor. 209.226.121.18 07:39, 8 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree with the above and have revised the article accordingly.--Brad Patrick 03:20, 16 February 2007 (UTC)
