“…If there are concerns about EF skills, it is recommended the person undergo a formal evaluation, ideally by a neuropsychologist (or by a psychologist or psychiatrist). Executive dysfunction can be a significant problem on its own, or could be an indicator of another disorder with overlapping symptoms, such as attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), major depression, or dementia [65, 66]. Comprehensive assessment will lead to proper recommendations and treatment.…”

The complex type 1 diabetes (T1D) management regimen places extra demands on one's ability to plan, organize, and problem-solve, a set of skills described as executive functioning (EF). Research on the relation between EF and T1D management has been mounting and suggest that deficits in EF skills likely interfere with optimal management. However, given the substantial EF demands of T1D management, any person with T1D, including those without clinically significant deficits, could likely benefit from strategies to improve diabetes-related EF skills. The current review outlines typical EF development across the lifespan and suggests behavioral strategies (e.g., environmental modifications) from the EF literature and clinical experience to enhance EF skills at each period of development. When executive dysfunction is suspected, formal neuropsychological assessment is recommended as EF concerns can be a significant problem of their own, or they could be an indicator of another psychological disorder, such as depression or dementia.

“…The HRNTB is the most researched and used fixed neuropsychological test battery (Horton, 2008;Reitan & Wolfson, 2004). The HRNTB is based on the ideas of Halstead, who believed that there were two types of intelligence: psychometric and biological (Reynolds, Castillo, & Horton, 2008). Psychometric intelligence is what is measured by intelligence tests (e.g., Stanford-Binet), whereas biological intelligence reflects the adaptive abilities of a healthy central nervous system (Reitan, 1994;Reynolds et al, 2008).…”

Psychometric intelligence is what is measured by intelligence tests (e.g., Stanford-Binet), whereas biological intelligence reflects the adaptive abilities of a healthy central nervous system (Reitan, 1994;Reynolds et al, 2008). To determine biological intelligence, Halstead selected 13 tests, given that the braindamaged individuals whom he examined had a wide range of deficits, and traditional intelligence tests were not always sensitive indicators of brain damage; some patients with significant damage did not exhibit deficits in functioning (Reitan & Wolfson, 2004;Reynolds et al, 2008).…”

The HRNTB' s frequency of use is attributed to the empirical evidence of its ability to evaluate brain-damaged individuals accurately as a battery, given both its comprehensive nature and its superior sensitivity for subtle deficits (Horton, 2008).…”
