  • Learning disabilities
  • Tourette's disorder
  • Low birth weight
  • Traumatic brain injury
  • Attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder
  • Pervasive developmental disorders/autism

Product Description

Each BRIEF questionnaire contains 86 items in eight non-overlapping clinical scales and two validity scales. The validity scales measure Negativity and Inconsistency of responses.

These theoretically and statistically derived scales form two broader Indexes: Behavioural Regulation (three scales) and Metacognition (five scales), as well as a Global Executive Composite score. Factor analytic studies and structural equation modeling provide support for the two-factor model of executive functioning as encompassed by the two Indexes.
