“…Finally, the developers of the BRIEF caution that the results need to be utilized in the context of other instruments such as performance-based measures (Isquith et al, 2005). However, although BRIEF scores have been associated with various behavior-rating scales (e.g., Denckla, 2002;Mahone & Hoffman, 2007;McAuley, Chen, Goos, Schachar, & Crosbie, 2010), low and nonsignificant correlations are usually found with direct EF measures (Conklin, Salorio, & Slomine, 2008;McAuley et al, 2010;Toplak et al, 2013;Vriezen & Pigott, 2002). In preschoolers, relationships between the BRIEF-P and a more general behavioral scale (the Child Behavior Checklist; Achenbach & Rescorla, 2000) provide evidence of convergent validity (Duku & Vaillancourt, 2013).…”

The current study explored the association between the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool (BRIEF-P; Gioia, Espy, & Isquith, 2003 ) and a new battery of direct executive function (EF) measures designed for preschoolers. Forty-two typically developing 3- to 5-year-olds were given the Preschool Executive Function Battery (PEFB; Garon, Smith & Bryson, 2014); their mothers filled out the BRIEF-P. The findings support distinct associations between 3 BRIEF-P scales and corresponding direct EF measures. In particular, a strong association was found between the BRIEF-P Inhibition scale and children's performance on the PEFB Inhibition measure. The findings indicate that parent ratings of preschoolers' everyday EF behavior are related to performance on the PEFB, a laboratory measure. These findings have implications for early screening of children's EF difficulties as well as for future research.

“…It consists of behavioral regulation and metacognition indexes that have been identified by factor analysis of individual subscales. The three overall indexes (general executive composite, metacognition index, behavioral regulation index) have been shown to be sensitive to TBI severity and outcome Chevignard et al, 2009;Conklin et al, 2008;Donders et al, 2010;Gioia and Isquith, 2004;Gioia et al, 2002Gioia et al, , 2010Karunanayaka et al, 2007;Maillard-Wermelinger et al, 2009;Mangeot et al, 2002;Merkley et al, 2008;Muscara et al, 2008a, b;Nadebaum et al, 2007;Power et al, 2007;Sesma et al, 2008;Vriezen and Pigott, 2002;Walz et al, 2008;Wozniak et al, 2007). The BRIEF was selected as a supplemental measure to provide an evaluation of everyday executive function and because of its standardization on a large number of typically developing children, thus providing age-based standard scores.…”

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.

Deficits in working memory (WM) are a common consequence of pediatric traumatic brain injury (TBI) and are believed to contribute to difficulties in a range of cognitive and academic domains. Reduced integrity of the corpus callosum (CC) after TBI may disrupt the connectivity between bilateral frontoparietal neural networks underlying WM. In the present investigation, diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) tractography of eight callosal subregions (CC1-CC8) was examined in relation to measures of verbal and visuospatial WM in 74 children sustaining TBI and 49 typically developing comparison children. Relative to the comparison group, children with TBI demonstrated poorer visuospatial WM, but comparable verbal WM. Microstructure of the CC was significantly compromised in brain-injured children, with lower fractional anisotropy (FA) and higher axial and radial diffusivity metrics in all callosal subregions. In both groups of children, lower FA and/or higher radial diffusivity in callosal subregions connecting anterior and posterior parietal cortical regions predicted poorer verbal WM, whereas higher radial diffusivity in callosal subregions connecting anterior and posterior parietal, as well as temporal, cortical regions predicted poorer visuospatial WM. DTI metrics, especially radial diffusivity, in predictive callosal subregions accounted for significant variance in WM over and above remaining callosal subregions. Reduced microstructural integrity of the CC, particularly in subregions connecting parietal and temporal cortices, may act as a neuropathological mechanism contributing to long-term WM deficits. The future clinical use of neuroanatomical biomarkers may allow for the early identification of children at highest risk for WM deficits and earlier provision of interventions for these children.
