Attentional Set-Shifting Task
Objective: Measure the ability to shift attention between perceptual dimensions, sensitive to lateral prefrontal cortex damage, using an analog of the Wisconsin Card Sort Test
This is a Attentional Set-Shifting Task protocol using marmoset as the model organism. The procedure involves 2 procedural steps. Extracted from a 1997 paper published in Journal of Neuroscience.

Attentional Set-Shifting Task
Subjects perform an attentional set-shifting task that measures the ability to shift attention between perceptual dimensions, analogous to the Wisconsin Card Sort Test used in humans
Note: Task is sensitive to lateral prefrontal cortex damage in marmosets in a manner qualitatively similar to humans and Old World monkeys

“Attentional set-shifting and discrimination reversal are sensitive to prefrontal damage in the marmoset in a manner qualitatively similar to that seen in man and Old World monkeys”
Discrimination Reversal Task
Subjects perform discrimination reversal learning, which measures the ability to reverse a stimulus-reward association within a particular perceptual dimension
Note: Sensitive to orbital prefrontal cortex damage
View evidence from paper
“orbital but not lateral prefrontal cortex is the critical locus in reversing a stimulus–reward association within a particular perceptual dimension”
