Abstract

Objective: This study assesses planning skills of adolescents with ADHD using a multi-method assessment and explores subtype differences between inattentive and combined subtypes. Method: One hundred fifteen adolescents with ADHD and 34 typically developing controls completed subtests of the Delis–Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS), Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS), and Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF). Results: No group differences were found on the D-KEFS. The BADS Zoo Map test showed longer completion times in the inattentive than in the combined subtype and controls. The BRIEF showed more planning problems in adolescents with ADHD (both subtypes) than in controls, with the combined subtype showing most problems on overall executive functioning. Conclusion: Only a proportion of adolescents with ADHD shows planning deficits. To capture these planning problems in adolescents with ADHD, it seems important to use multiple measures of planning, both ratings and “less structured” neurocognitive measures of planning.

  • Zoo Map Test demonstrated high test-retest reliability as well as inter-rater reliability, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.88 to 1.00.

    “This subtest demonstrated high test–retest reliability as well as inter-rater reliability, with correlation coefficients ranging from 0.88 to 1.00 [20,24].”

    From Enhancing Ecological Validity: Virtual Reality Assessment of Executive Functioning in Children and Adolescents with ADHD (2024) · cites this paper as [24]

    The Instruments section (p. 5) identifies Zoo Map as a BADS subtest and reports high inter-rater reliability (r = .88) for the subtests. It does not report Zoo Map test–retest reliability or a coefficient of 1.00; the test–retest statement on that page concerns the separate BRIEF scale. (LLM, conf=0.88)

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.
