The Assessment of Executive Functions in Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder
Abstract
Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) has been characterized by difficulties in executive functions and both performance-based measures and rating scales of executive function have been shown to be affected more in individuals with ADHD than in comparison controls. Studies have indicate that these measures are only modestly related. Performance-based measures of executive function provide information regarding how well the child behaves and manages in an optimal and highly structured testing environment. Alternatively, ratings of executive function from different informants provide information on how well the child manages in less structured environments relative to testing situations, such as classrooms and home settings. Both domains are useful and valuable in the assessment of ADHD, but they provide different types of information in the context of a clinical assessment.

In the citing paper
“EF have traditionally been posited in two ways: the unitary perspective, which stresses common processes among measures of EF, and the modular or componential view, which emphasizes dissociable EF processes and distinct developmental patterns for each process (Toplak et al., 2017).”

“However, EF ratings are helpful in predicting occupational performance and academic performance because they provide information about goal-directed behavior in everyday situations.”

In the citing paper
“According to Toplak et al. (2013) and Toplak et al. (2017), the performance-based tests provide valuable insight into cognitive processes and their efficiency in structured environments.”

“Performance-based EF tests may also take longer to administer than rating scales (Toplak et al., 2013; Toplak et al., 2017).”

In the citing paper
“This conception of EF levels appears congruent with the proposition that different EF assessment methods capture different aspects of behavioral and cognitive functioning (Toplak et al., 2013; Toplak et al., 2017).”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
