“…Similarly, using exploratory factor analysis, the two-factor structure was identified for the BRIEF in a sample of children with intellectual disabilities (Memisevic 2015). In contrast, the three-factor model of the BRIEF as opposed to the one-and two-factor models was supported in a sample of adolescents with mild traumatic brain injury (Lace et al 2019).…”

“…In summary, there are inconsistent results regarding the factor structure of the BRIEF and BRIEF2 with mixed clinical samples. While some studies supported the three-factor structure of the BRIEF (Gioia & Isquith 2002;Lace et al 2019) and the BRIEF2 (Jacobson et al 2020;Parhoon et al 2022), others reported that two-factor model best explains the factor structure of the BRIEF (Lyons Usher et al 2016;Memisevic 2015;Slick et al 2006) and BRIEF2 (Lace et al 2021). Such inconsistency may reflect the unique EF structure in specific clinical samples.…”

Background The factor structure of the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function, second edition (BRIEF2) has been widely examined in both typically developing children and specific clinical samples. Despite the frequent use of the BRIEF2 for measuring executive functioning in individuals with Down syndrome, no study has investigated the factorial validity or dimensionality of the BRIEF2 in this population. This study aimed to address this notable gap in the literature. Methods Parents of 407 children and youth with Down syndrome aged 6-18 years completed the BRIEF2 as part of different studies led by six sites. Three competing models proposed by previous studies were analysed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis: the theoretical structure of the BRIEF2 where the scales were constrained to load on three factors labelled as Cognitive, Behavioral, and Emotional Regulation, a two-factor correlated model with the merged Behavioral and Emotional regulation, and a single-factor model. ResultsThe three-factor model provided a better fit than the one-and two-factor models, yet a large correlation was observed between Behavioural and Emotional regulation factors. The results provide meaningful explanatory value for the theoretical structure of the BRIEF2. However, the Behavioral and Emotional regulation factors might be less differentiated and the two-factor structure of the BRIEF2 may also make theoretical and empirical sense. Conclusions Although more studies are needed to further examine the factor structure of the BRIEF2 in youth with Down syndrome, this investigation provides preliminary support for the interpretation of the three executive function index scores provided by the BRIEF2: Cognitive, Behavioral, and Emotional Regulation.

“…The inexpensive, easy, and cost-effective daily usage of such scales has made them practical in research and to support diagnosis, especially since there is a growing general knowledge of their predictive value for assessing everyday EF impairment outside of laboratory testing. The Behavioral Rating Inventory of Executive Function Scale [BRIEF; (Gerard A Gioia et al, 2000; Gerard A. Gioia et al, 2000)] can be administered to parents/teachers, and versions of it can be used to evaluate EF impairments in preschoolers [aged 2–5 years; BRIEF-P; (Gioia et al, 1996; Sherman & Brooks, 2010)], in school-aged children (aged 6–18 years) and in a self-report form for youths between 11-18 years old [BRIEF-SR; (Guy et al, 2004; Lace et al, 2019)]. A group of pediatric neuropsychologists developed the BRIEF by collecting data on real-life EF in the conditions of home/school environments.…”

Turkish Adaptation of the Executive Functions and Occupational Routines Scale: Validity and Reliability Among Children with Dyslexia

The purpose of the present study was to provide a Turkish cultural adaptation (EFORTS-T) of the Executive Functions and Occupational Routines Scale (EFORTS) and to investigate its psychometric quality in children with dyslexia. We culturally adapted the original English version of this instrument with internationally suggested methods. Participants included the mothers of either randomly selected children with dyslexia (study group, n = 158) or age and sex-matched typically developing children (control group, n = 167). These participants completed a demographic form, the EFORTS-T, and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Parent form (BRIEF-P). For internal consistency, the alpha coefficient of the new instrument was excellent (.93), and it showed satisfactory test-retest reliability over a 14-day interval (.91). The criterion-related validity between the EFORTS-T and the BRIEF-P was moderate (.73). Fit indices of the model supported its factor structure. In conclusion, our findings support the validity and reliability of the new Turkish version of EFORTS for evaluating EF and contributing to the daily occupational routines of children with dyslexia for Turkish respondents. Further studies are needed to apply this instrument to children of different age groups and psychiatric conditions.
