“…The CEFA has only been used in one previous study (Ball et al 2008) and its factor structure has not previously been examined. The adult version of the BADS has been reported to have a unitary structure (Vargas et al 2009) but to the best of our knowledge, the children's version has not been factor analysed. Therefore, the present study may represent the first attempt to examine both the factor structure of EF in people with IDs, and the factor structure, in any population, of the BADS-C and the CEFA.…”

The CEFA is suitable for use with people with mild to moderate learning disabilities, whereas the BADS-C is at the lower limit of usability with this client group. The lower-than-expected scores observed on the BADS-C may indicate that people known to learning disability services may be more impaired than people of comparable IQ not known to services. The structure of EF seen in people with IDs closely resembles a model of EF in the general population that has received a broad level of support.

“…The primary outcome measures were the Spanish versions of 2 executive and memory tests, the Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS), 14 , 15 and the Rivermead Behavioral Memory Test (RBMT). 16 , 17 Both tests are designed to be “ecologically valid,” that is to capture a broad range of aspects of executive and memory function required in real-life settings.…”

The effectiveness of cognitive remediation therapy (CRT) for the neuropsychological deficits seen in schizophrenia is supported by meta-analysis. However, a recent methodologically rigorous trial had negative findings. In this study, 130 chronic schizophrenic patients were randomly assigned to computerized CRT, an active computerized control condition (CC) or treatment as usual (TAU). Primary outcome measures were 2 ecologically valid batteries of executive function and memory, rated under blind conditions; other executive and memory tests and a measure of overall cognitive function were also employed. Carer ratings of executive and memory failures in daily life were obtained before and after treatment. Computerized CRT was found to produce improvement on the training tasks, but this did not transfer to gains on the primary outcome measures and most other neuropsychological tests in comparison to either CC or TAU conditions. Nor did the intervention result in benefits on carer ratings of daily life cognitive failures. According to this study, computerized CRT is not effective in schizophrenia. The use of both active and passive CCs suggests that nature of the control group is not an important factor influencing results.

“…The Spanish validation (Vargas et al, 2009) of the Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS) (Wilson et al, 1996) was utilized to assess executive function. This battery consists of 6 tests measuring CF, inhibition of impulsive responses, planning and organization, working memory, and time-estimation capacity.…”

Baseline Predictors for Success Following Strategy-Based Cognitive Remediation Group Training in Schizophrenia

et al. 2016

Our aim was to examine predictive variables associated with the improvement in cognitive, clinical, and functional outcomes after outpatient participation in REPYFLEC strategy-based Cognitive Remediation (CR) group training. In addition, we investigated which factors might be associated with some long-lasting effects at 6 months' follow-up. Predictors of improvement after CR were studied in a sample of 29 outpatients with schizophrenia. Partial correlations were computed between targeted variables and outcomes of response to explore significant associations. Subsequently, we built linear regression models for each outcome variable and predictors of improvement. The improvement in negative symptoms at posttreatment was linked to faster performance in the Trail Making Test B. Disorganization and cognitive symptoms were related to changes in executive function at follow-up. Lower levels of positive symptoms were related to durable improvements in life skills. Levels of symptoms and cognition were associated with improvements following CR, but the pattern of resulting associations was nonspecific.

Behavioral Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome Battery (BADS) in Schizophrenia

Abstract: Executive functioning in schizophrenia can be reliably and validly assessed with BADS. The diagnosis of impaired executive functioning may be of clinical usefulness as a marker of more illness severity and poorer functional status.
