Profiles of everyday executive function in acquired and developmental disorders
Abstract
Executive function profiles were examined within and between several clinical disorders via the multi-domain Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF; Gioia, Isquith, Guy, & Kenworthy, 2000). Parent ratings of children with Inattentive and Combined types of Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD-I, ADHD-C), Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD), moderate and severe Traumatic Brain Injury (TBI), and Reading Disabilities (RD) were compared with controls. Profile analysis revealed significant (p<.01) and substantial (eta2>.10) differences in global elevations and in profile of scale elevations between diagnostic groups. ASD, ADHD-I and ADHD-C groups exhibited greater elevations across the BRIEF scales than did RD and Severe TBI groups, who were in turn more elevated than Moderate TBI and Control groups. The ADHD-C group was unique in its frequency and severity of inhibitory deficits, while the ASD group was distinguishable by its deficits in flexibility. Within diagnostic groups, relative risk for executive dysfunction was calculated with variability present in the frequency of clinically elevated scales. While the BRIEF captures executive profiles characteristic of specific disorders in the clinical setting, it is not diagnostic in its own right and is best used within the context of a broad based evaluation.
