General Cognitive Abilities and Patterns of Adaptation: For Serial Color–Word Test Norms Based on Reading Times

Abstract: In a pool of 859 clinical and nonclinical Serial Color-Word Test protocols, significant positive correlations were observed between reading times on the Stroop task and measures of linear and nonlinear change. Especially nonlinear change, both within and between the five subtests, showed high correlations with reading times. To derive new time-related norms, the sample was divided into five time groups of the same size and stratified medians were calculated for each of the variables of the test. The new classi… Show more

“…According to the typological model, each measure is classified as above or below cut-off normative values. The main limitation of this procedure is that it neglects total reading time: a marked slowing of the performance is a common correlate of many kinds of mental disorders and should be controlled when searching for specificity in clinical research (Rubino, Claps, Zanna, Caramia, Pezzarossa, & Ciani, 1997). This consideration led to the proposal of classifications based on reading time strata, instead of the customary sex and age strata (Rubino, et al, 1997).…”

A recent contribution indicated superior discriminant properties of a classification based on reading times compared to the usual one (Rubino, Tozzi, & Siracusano, 2008).…”

Patterns of adaptation to conflict in anorexia nervosa were assessed with the Serial Color-Word Test. A group of teenage girls with anorexia nervosa (n = 34) was compared with an age-matched group of normal girls (n = 54). Measures of linear and nonlinear change of reading times during each of the five consecutive trials of the test were compared between groups by means of a multivariate model with doubly repeated measures. Multivariate testing indicated statistically significant main effects of group and time, as well as a group x time interaction. The groups did not differ on linear change, while anorexia patients had higher scores of nonlinear change. When the same analysis was performed covarying for total reading times, the main effect of group remained significant and anorexia patients had higher scores on linear change. The anorexia group seemed less able to master the conflict situation over time, a tendency which could be related to treatment outcomes.

Patterns of Adaptation to Conflict in Bulimia and Temporo-Mandibular Joint Disorder

et al. 1998

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Two age- and education-matched groups of 45 women, respectively, with the diagnoses of Bulimia and of Temporo-mandibular Joint Disorder, were administered the Serial Color-Word Test, to assess differences in the pattern of adaptation to conflict (the latter being represented by the Stroop task). Three types of norms (clinical, nonclinical and based on reading times) and the functions derived from a previous cluster analysis were employed. Comparisons utilizing clinical norms and cluster analytical functions did not significantly differentiate between groups. According to both nonclinical norms and norms based on reading times, the two clinical groups were significantly different concerning the distribution of adaptation patterns. Bulimic patients resorted more often to the Dissociative pattern (high nonlinear change of reading times), while temporomandibular patients were characterized by the Cumulative pattern (high linear change) and, secondarily, by the Cumulative-Dissociative pattern (high linear and nonlinear change). Intergroup differences were more marked when employing the new norms based on reading times.

A group of 34 pupils from two school classes (Class 8, M = 13.1 yr., SD=0.5) were administered the Serial Color-Word Test to assess the pattern of adaptation during repeated exposure to the Stroop task (5 massed trials). The typological classification, centered on measures of linear (R) and nonlinear (V) change of reading times, employed norms derived from the medians of the group. The Stabilized primary pattern (low R and low V) corresponded to higher grades, compared with the other 3 primary patterns. Concerning the secondary classification across trials (based on the R and V of the 5 Rs, and on the R and V of the 5 Vs), better school performance was found among subjects with a linear increase of linear changes across trials (high R of the 5 Rs; CR pattern), compared with subjects with a nonlinear increase of linear changes (high V of the 5 Rs; DR and CDR patterns).
