We examined factor structure, internal consistency, inter-rater reliability, measurement invariance, and age- and gender-related differences in behavioral executive functioning (EF). Participants included 1,257 adolescents (51.8% girls, aged 11-18) who completed the self-report version, 1,340 parents who completed parent reports on their children (46.7% girls, aged 5-18), and 38 teachers who provided teacher reports for 510 adolescents (58.4% girls, aged 13-18). Results supported the original three-factor model (Behavioral, Emotional, and Cognitive Regulation) across all informants, although model fit was somewhat weaker for teacher ratings. Internal consistency ranged from acceptable to excellent. Measurement invariance across age and gender was largely supported, though some scalar non-invariance was observed. Patterns of age- and gender-related differences varied by informant. Specifically, adolescents reported more EF difficulties with increasing age, whereas parents and teachers reported fewer EF difficulties in older youth. Girls self-reported greater EF difficulties, while parents and teachers generally rated girls as having less difficulty - except in the domain of Emotional Control. However, all observed gender and age differences across informants were small in magnitude. Overall, the findings support the Swedish BRIEF2 as having solid psychometric properties across the self-, parent-, and teacher-report forms. However, minor structural inconsistencies, informant discrepancies, the small teacher sample, and signs of item redundancy suggest areas for future improvement and refinement.","PeriodicalId":9789,"journal":{"name":"Child Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":"520-550"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145430456","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A total of 128 children and adolescents aged 6-15 years were assessed using the TOVA and the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children - Fifth Edition (WISC-V), alongside parent and teacher ratings of ADHD symptoms and evaluations of TOVA performance validity. 45% of the total sample met the criteria for BIF. The TOVA demonstrated high feasibility, evidenced by a 94% completion rate with no significant differences in test completion across groups. Children with BIF exhibited significantly more Commission Errors (CE), indicative of reduced inhibitory control, while sustained attention measures showed no significant differences. Hierarchical regression analyses revealed that FSIQ accounted for a small but significant proportion of variance in CE scores, and minimal variance in sustained attention measures. These findings support the TOVA's applicability in clinical paediatric settings, including populations with BIF, yet underscore the necessity of considering intellectual functioning when interpreting inhibitory control metrics.

Based on teacher ratings, participants were children with clinically elevated CDS (n = 107) and sex- and grade-matched peers without elevated CDS (n = 104). Teachers also completed ratings of ADHD inattentive symptoms, and children were administered the Rapid Automatized Naming and Rapid Alternating Stimulus (RAN/RAS) Tests, the Reading Comprehension subtest of the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test, Third Edition (WIAT-III), and the Processing Speed Index of the Wechsler Intelligence Scale for Children, Fourth Edition (WISC-IV). Children with elevated CDS symptoms had slower naming speed than their peers across most RAN/RAS Tests. Specifically, compared to children without CDS, children with elevated CDS had significantly lower scores in RAN Objects, RAN Numbers, RAN Letters, RAS 2-Set, and RAS 3-Set (ds = 0.31-0.50). Effects for RAN Numbers, RAN Letters, and RAS 3-Set were robust to control of family income, ADHD medication use, processing speed, and ADHD inattentive symptom severity. RAS 3-Set scores moderated the association between CDS and WIAT-III Reading Comprehension scores such that CDS status was associated with poorer reading comprehension performance only at low (slower) and mean naming speed performance but not at high (faster) performance. This study provides new evidence linking CDS to slower naming speed performance beyond demographic characteristics, processing speed, and ADHD symptoms. Findings suggest that naming speed may be deficient in children with CDS, which may exacerbate reading difficulties.

Results indicated that children with obesity demonstrated significantly weaker performance in executive functions and dynamic balance compared to their normal-weight peers. Regression analyses showed that working memory and inhibition significantly mediated the relationship between BMI and dynamic balance (p < .001), whereas attention did not exert a mediating effect (p = .288).

Conventional assessment methods provide insights through demographic and prior academic records and subjective measures; however, there is an increasing demand for objective, ecologically valid indicators that reflect real-world learning processes. Extending these approaches to younger learners, particularly those aged 11-12 years, addresses critical research gaps. This study presents an exploratory investigation of a Virtual Reality (VR)-based academic assessment tool designed to capture behavioral and performance metrics from learners. A cohort of 120 typically developing students participated, with teacher evaluations serving as the ground truth. In addition to raw VR metrics, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was employed to derive latent cognitive dimensions that provided a structured representation of students' behavioral performance. Multiple machine-learning algorithms were tested to classify performance levels, with the Random Forest classifier achieving the highest accuracy of 95%. The findings demonstrate that VR-captured behavioral indicators have strong feasibility and predictive validity for educational assessment. The study also identifies a minimal, interpretable set of tasks and features that enhances practical deployment. These results provide foundational evidence for integrating VR-based assessment, latent cognitive factors, and ML methods to generate dynamic, ecologically valid insights and to support targeted early interventions for improved educational outcomes.","PeriodicalId":9789,"journal":{"name":"Child Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-29"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147608191","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study also considered the extent to which the ERI may contribute to the overall detection of ADHD and comorbid symptoms, as compared to the BRIEF2 Behavior Regulation Index (BRI) and Cognitive Regulation Index (CRI). Archival data representing 211 male (n = 151) and female (n = 60) children ages 5 to 12 (M = 8.00, SD = 1.63) seen through a university-based ADHD Evaluation Clinic were used. Parent and teacher ratings were analyzed separately. Results revealed that the BRIEF2 ERI reliably detected the presence of ADHD comorbid symptomatology across informants. However, unlike select findings from the BRI and CRI, the ERI and its associated clinical scales did not differentiate between types of comorbidities. Overall, current data suggests that the ERI may make only a small contribution beyond what is already explained by the other two indexes on the BRIEF2 in the assessment of ADHD comorbidity. Nonetheless, from a transdiagnostic perspective, the BRIEF2 ERI clinical scales may provide helpful information for clinicians to help guide assessment and treatment recommendations.","PeriodicalId":9789,"journal":{"name":"Child Neuropsychology","volume":" ","pages":"353-369"},"PeriodicalIF":1.9,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145191318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
