Repetitive Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation of Dorsolateral Prefrontal Cortex Affects Performance of the Wisconsin Card Sorting Task during Provision of Feedback

Figure 3

Behavioral tasks. (a) WCST: the four cards shown on the top in the computer screen are reference cards, and the card on the bottom is the test card. The subjects could move a yellow bar which was displayed under the reference cards by pressing the left button of a mouse with their index finger. Pressing the right button with the middle finger confirmed the selection of the card followed by negative or positive feedback. The subjects had to find out the rule of classification (color, shape, and number) by trial and error. (b) Control task: the test card was identical to one of the reference cards. The rest was the same as WCST.
