“…Regarding their findings, in agreement with Barkley and Murphy (2010), Toplak et al pointed out that performance tests and scales seem to evaluate different aspects of cognitive functioning and that both types of assessment provide different information that can contribute to the understanding of the patient's difficulties in a clinical context. This conclusion has been corroborated by other authors (Barkley, 2014;Holst & Thorell, 2018;Thorell & Catale, 2014). Thorell and Catale, for example, mention that scales make it possible to capture more global aspects of executive behavior compared to performance tests.…”

“…Considering the recent emphasis on the use of functional measures in the evaluation process (Barkley, 2014;Garcia-Barrera et al, 2014;Holst & Thorell, 2018;Isquith et al, 2013;Thorell & Catale, 2014;Toplak et al, 2013;Viklund et al, 2019) and the still limited availability of functional measurement instruments (Naglieri & Goldstein, 2014), especially in the Brazilian context (e.g. SATEPSI search, updated in April/2020, not resulting in the location of instruments), the future availability of IFERA-II may constitute an important contribution.…”

“…Furthermore, among the existing instruments, EFs are the dimension primarily investigated, to the detriment of DA and RS, which have also been shown to be relevant, for example, to the understanding of the neuropsychology of ADHD (Wagner et al, 2016). Considering the criticism regarding the length of some of these scales (Thorell & Catale, 2014), IFERA-I and IFERA-II can be considered relatively brief instruments, enabling their use in screening processes.…”

Considering the importance of the functional assessment, a scale was developed to evaluate Executive Functions (EFs), State Regulation (SR) and Delay Aversion (DA) in adults, based on a children’s scale, and evidence of content validity was investigated. In Phase 1, items from the children’s version were adapted to generate the Inventory of Difficulties in Executive Functions, Regulation and Delay Aversion for Adults (IFERA-II), with 28 items of EFs (inhibition, working memory and flexibility), RS and DA. Analysis by judges verified the representativeness of the contents of the items. After adaptations, 18 adult participants responded to the IFERA-II and were interviewed regarding comprehension, need for examples and clarity of vocabulary. A new revision led to the preliminary version of the IFERA-II, the psychometric properties of which should be investigated.

“…As described in more detail below, most available instruments 1) do not focus specifically on executive functioning, 2) are long and complex instruments, 3) are protected by copyright and are therefore costly to use. In order to address these limitations, the Childhood Executive Functioning Inventory (CHEXI; Thorell & Catale, 2014;Thorell & Nyberg, 2008) and the Adult Executive Functioning Inventory (ADEXI; Holst & Thorell, 2018) were created. However, neither one of these two instruments is suitable for use in adolescence, and the aim of the present study was therefore to introduce the Teenage Executive Functioning Inventory (TEXI).…”

The Childhood Executive Functioning Inventory (CHEXI) and the Adult Executive Functioning Inventory (ADEXI) are reliable and valid rating instruments for assessing working memory and inhibitory control. However, a teenage version of this instrument has not been available, and the aim of the present study was therefore to investigate the psychometric properties of the Teenage Executive Functioning Inventory (TEXI). After interviewing both researchers/ clinicians and adolescents themselves, a questionnaire with 20 items was created. Data from adolescents age 13-19 years (n = 302) and their parents were thereafter collected. Factor analysis showed that the TEXI has two clear factors: working memory and inhibition. Further, the TEXI was shown to have high reliability in terms of internal consistency (≥ .85), split-half reliability (≥ .81) and inter-rater reliability between self-ratings and parent ratings (.82). In sum, the TEXI is a reliable questionnaire for measuring working memory and inhibition in adolescents. The two versions of the TEXI are presented in the appendices of this paper and they will be freely available on the Internet.

Objective: Pediatric oncology survivors are at risk for executive function (EF) and working memory (WM) deficits, which can be measured via performance-based measures or rating scales. Previous studies have shown these measurement methods to be weakly correlated. This study aimed to describe parent-rated EF and performancebased WM (PBWM) in pediatric brain tumor (BT) survivors, examine change in EF and PBWM across time, and investigate the relationship between parent-rated WM and PBWM. Method: The sample included 56 patients diagnosed with a BT in childhood (M age = 6.94 years; SD = 4.05) seen twice for clinical neuropsychological evaluation. PBWM was examined via the auditory WM scale from a Wechsler intelligence measure or Differential Ability Scales-II. Parents completed the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF)/BRIEF-P/BRIEF-2 as a measure of global EF (Global Executive Composite [GEC]), metacognitive skills (Metacognitive Index/Cognitive Regulation Index [MI/CRI]), behavioral regulation (Behavior Regulation Index [BRI]), and emotional regulation (Emotion Regulation Index [ERI]).Results: GEC, MI/CRI, and ERI at Time 1 were significantly above the mean (p < .01); BRI and PBWM did not differ from the normative mean. All measures were significantly higher than the normative mean at Time 2 (p < .05). PBWM was both clinically and statistically elevated (p < .001). There was a significant change across time in PBWM (p < .05), but not GEC, MI/CRI, ERI, or BRI. PBWM was weakly correlated with the BRIEF WM subscale at Time 1 and Time 2 (all p > .05). Conclusions:Multiple measures of EF should be considered when providing diagnoses and recommendations for pediatric BT survivors. Furthermore, given declines across time, findings document need for continued monitoring and reassessment of survivors as they get further out from treatment.
