“…Even if performance-based measures allow to assess an individual's optimal capacity and efficiency of EF in a highly controlled setting (Toplak et al, 2012), such measures likely suffer from limited ecological validity when aiming to investigate impairments in EF domains in daily life (e.g., Barkley and Fischer, 2011;Snyder et al, 2021). This, among other things (e.g., method variance), may explain the relatively poor correspondence between performance-based measures and subjective indicators of EF (e.g., Hagen et al, 2021;Serra-Blasco et al, 2019;Snyder et al, 2021), which may more closely capture success in goal pursuit in daily life (Toplak et al, 2012). As such, it has been argued that self-report measures for EF, such as the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function -Adult version (BRIEF-A; Roth et al, 2005), may better reflect experienced EF difficulties in daily life (Schmid and Hammar, 2021).…”
