“…The ATCT [8] is a semi-ecological test following the same principles as the CT, but requires building a Lego ® structure according to a manual of 131 steps. Although these 131 steps are needed to obtain the complete structure, participants' performance is limited to 1 hour, which is usually insufficient to complete them all.…”

“…Our primary objective is to validate a semi-ecological test called the Arc de Triomphe Construction Test (ATCT) [8] for the diagnostic, individual longitudinal follow-up, and prognostic assessment of patients suffering from DS. Our secondary objectives include a similar validation of an ecological test based on Chevignard's Cooking Task (CT) [7] to assess DS, and the evaluation of the diagnostic and prognostic value of eye-tracking and behavioral data acquired during both tasks.…”

“…To address the ecological validity issue of these tests, alternative methods have emerged, relying on tests performed in ecological [7] and "semi-ecological" [8] settings. Ecological tests involve tasks that are part of daily activities, such as cooking or shopping, while semi-ecological tests mimic real-life activities which are not necessarily daily tasks.…”

Background: Evaluating executive dysfunction in brain-damaged patients remains a significant challenge in neurology. Current standard neuropsychological tests, although internally valid, often lack ecological validity. The SDS2 study aims to address this limitation and to improve the understanding of executive dysfunction by collecting multi-modal data including results from ecological and semi-ecological tests. These tests are designed to be more reflective of real-world challenges faced by individuals with executive dysfunction. Methods: The study relies on a longitudinal, non-randomized design, focusing on the results of the Arc de Triomphe Construction Test as the primary outcome. Various statistical methods, including Receiver Operating Characteristic curves, logistic regression models, and intraclass correlation coefficients, will be used to assess the performance and validity of this test. Missing data will be handled using multiple imputation techniques. Secondary, subgroup, and exploratory analyses will focus on various aspects of the collected dataset. Discussion: The SDS2 study's comprehensive statistical framework will contribute to refining the understanding of executive dysfunction. The proposed use of established statistical methods originating from various fields and state-of-the-art machine learning algorithms seems particularly suited for the complex and heterogeneous multi-modal data involved. These data also represent a valuable opportunity to develop new statistical and machine learning analysis methods. Trial registration: ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT05017051.
