The diseases and mental dysfunctions that have been studied are Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, ADHD, Substance Dependence, Autism, Multiple Sclerosis and Schizophrenia (with and without tardive dyskenisia).

from this paper showing the amount of completed categories and preservative errors (when a person is ignoring that the rule has changed).
