“…The FAVRES is sensitive to impairments in high-functioning individuals (MacDonald, 1998). The adult version of the FAVRES has been shown to discriminate well those with TBI from typically developing individuals (MacDonald and Johnson, 2005) and also has been validated in relation to return to work (Isaki and Turkstra, 2000;MacDonald and Johnson, 2005). Administration time is * 60 min.…”

This article addresses the need for age-relevant outcome measures for traumatic brain injury (TBI) research and summarizes the recommendations by the inter-agency Pediatric TBI Outcomes Workgroup. The Pediatric Workgroup's recommendations address primary clinical research objectives including characterizing course of recovery from TBI, prediction of later outcome, measurement of treatment effects, and comparison of outcomes across studies. Consistent with other Common Data Elements (CDE) Workgroups, the Pediatric TBI Outcomes Workgroup adopted the standard three-tier system in its selection of measures. In the first tier, core measures included valid, robust, and widely applicable outcome measures with proven utility in pediatric TBI from each identified domain including academics, adaptive and daily living skills, family and environment, global outcome, health-related quality of life, infant and toddler measures, language and communication, neuropsychological impairment, physical functioning, psychiatric and psychological functioning, recovery of consciousness, social role participation and social competence, social cognition, and TBI-related symptoms. In the second tier, supplemental measures were recommended for consideration in TBI research focusing on specific topics or populations. In the third tier, emerging measures included important instruments currently under development, in the process of validation, or nearing the point of published findings that have significant potential to be superior to measures in the core and supplemental lists and may eventually replace them as evidence for their utility emerges.

Eight measures underwent factor analysis and 18 underwent various forms of reliability and/or validity testing. Factor analysis showed different aspects of executive functions. According to preset evaluation criteria, only the Test of Practical Judgment performed all of the recommended reliability and validity testing. REVIEWER'S CONCLUSION: Of the recently developed measures, several show promise for future use yet further validity and reliability testing is warranted. Future tool development should measure all subsets of executive function rather than only a few and include the recommended components of reliability and validity testing.

“…Not surprisingly, this has produced something of an overabundance of potential terms. These include 'cognitive-language' (Hagen, 1982), 'cognitive-pragmatic' (McDonald, 1992a), 'high-level' (and indeed 'higher-level') language (Cook et al, 2004;Hinchliffe et al, 1998a;Laakso et al, 2000;Lethlean & Murdoch, 1997;Moran & Gillon, 2004), 'higher order' language (Hinchliffe et al, 1998a), 'complex' and 'more complex' language (Hinchliffe et al, 1998a;Wapner et al, 1981), 'pragmatic' (Channon & Watts, 2003;Martin & McDonald, 2003;Meilijson et al, 2004), 'cognitive-communicative' (and 'cognitive-communication';Chapman et al, 2004;MacDonald & Johnson, 2005;Sbordone, 1988;Turkstra et al, 2005) and 'cognitive-linguistic' (cognitive-language; Cherney, 1991;Ellmo et al, 1995;Hinchliffe et al, 1998b;Whelan & Murdoch, 2005).…”

The term ‘cognitive-linguistic’ has been widely adopted in descriptions of a variety of communication disorders of neurogenic origin. Despite this, clear agreement on the meaning of the term has yet to be reached, with the result that it is used both inconsistently and misleadingly. This lack of terminological clarity also undermines the assessment of complex communicative function. In this article the terminology associated with complex communication disorders is discussed and a simple framework for conceptualising cognitive-linguistic function is outlined. On the basis of this it is proposed that some currently available assessments that purport to measure cognitive-linguistic skills in fact have less explanatory power than other assessments that are often not specifically targeted at communication. Further, it is suggested that the framework offers an ecologically valid basis for the systematic assessment of cognitive-linguistic function.
