Este estudo visou fornecer dados normativos preliminares da versão reduzida do Teste Wisconsin de Classificação de Cartas (WCST-64) para adultos idosos do Sul do Brasil. 310 adultos idosos cognitivamente preservados foram divididos em cinco faixas etárias e em cinco grupos por escolaridade. Os instrumentos utilizados foram: ficha de dados sociodemográficos, MEEM, GDS-15 e WCST-64. A idade associou-se à maioria dos escores do WCST-64, enquanto os anos de escolaridade não se relacionaram com nenhuma das pontuações. A partir disso, é possível apresentar dados normativos preliminares do WCST-64 para esta população e identificar a influência da idade no desempenho dos participantes.

This study intended to provide preliminary normative data for the short version of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Test (WCST-64) for elderly in the South of Brazil. 310 cognitively preserved elderly were divided into five age groups and into five groups according to schooling. The applied instruments were: sociodemographic data questionnaire, MEEM, GDS-15 and WCST-64. Age was associated with a large majority of WCST-64 scores, while the years of schooling were not related to any scores. Based on these, it is possible to present preliminary normative data for this population and identify the influence of age on the participant’s performance. It is important to consider sociodemographic characteristics while assessing the performance of the elderly, also enlarging other regions of the country.

Keywords: cognition; aging; schooling; age groups; executive function.
