Description
While the assessment of executive functioning has become a mainstream part of psychoeducational test batteries, debate continues as to how to best assess executive functions. This poster presents the results of a study comparing direct (performance-based) and indirect (ratings) measures of executive functioning. The utility and relative merits of various methods of assessing executive functioning in diagnosis and treatment planning will be discussed.
