A real-life, ecologically valid test of executive functioning: the executive secretarial task.
A major goal of neuropsychological assessment is predicting a person's level of functioning in daily life. Making predictions about everyday executive functioning based on tests is problematic because of the contrast between demands made in the test environment and demands made in everyday life (Shallice & Burgess, 1991). As executive functions play an important role in independent functioning,...
متن کاملDoes the iowa gambling task measure executive function?
The Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) is assumed to measure executive functioning, but this has not been empirically tested by means of both convergent and discriminant validity. We used structural equation modeling (SEM) to test whether the IGT is an executive function (EF) task (convergent validity) and whether it is not related to other neuropsychological domains (discriminant validity). Healthy comm...
متن کاملThe relationship between parents' rating and performance-based measure of executive function in preschool children
Introduction: Both performance-based and rating measures are used to evaluate preschool children’s executive functions. This study aimed to investigate the relationship between performance-based tasks and parental rating of executive functions in preschool children. Method: The present study was a descriptive correlational study. The current study population consisted of all 4 and 5-years-old p...
متن کاملA task to manipulate attentional load, set-shifting, and inhibitory control: convergent validity and test-retest reliability of the Parametric Go/No-Go Test.
Traditional neuropsychological measures of executive functioning are difficult to employ in functional imaging and clinical trial contexts and have tremendous practice effects. They also have poor sensitivity and specificity, while test-retest reliability is often not assessed in computer-based tests. The present study evaluates some psychometric properties of a new Parametric Go/No-Go (PGNG) T...
متن کاملForest, Trees, Dynamics: Results from a Novel Wisconsin Card Sorting Test Variant Protocol for Studying Global-Local Attention and Complex Cognitive Processes
BACKGROUND Recognition of objects and their context relies heavily on the integrated functioning of global and local visual processing. In a realistic setting such as work, this processing becomes a sustained activity, implying a consequent interaction with executive functions. MOTIVATION There have been many studies of either global-local attention or executive functions; however it is relat...
