Guidelines for Conducting Direct EF Assessments
We compiled recommended practices for selection, adaptation, and administration of EF performance-based tasks and for processing, evaluating, reporting, and interpreting data that these tasks yield. We hope this resource will help researchers conduct more psychometrically rigorous and ecologically valid assessments of children’s EF skills, expanding scientific understanding of these skills across different cultures and contexts.
Adult surveys of children's EF behaviors
We have developed parent, teacher, and assessor surveys of behaviors that reflect the application of EF skills in everyday settings. Surveys consist of universal items that will be adapted for different contexts by adding culturally-relevant markers of EF-related behaviors and culturally-relevant examples of tasks and situations that require use of EF skills. We are currently piloting these measures and will publicly share the items and assessment materials in late-2024.
We want to learn from your experiences supporting and/or studying children around the world.
Help us understand how children around the globe use and display executive functions by responding to a 30-minute survey about children’s experiences and behaviors in a community/culture you know well.
