Le BRIEF est un inventaire des comportements reliés aux fonctions exécutives. Il est composé de questionnaires permettant une évaluation sur huit échelles cliniques et selon deux échelles de validité. Ces échelles sont dérivées d'une base conceptuelle et statistique, et fournissent deux indices et un score global :
· Indice des fonctions comportementales (Inhibition, Flexibilité et Contrôle émotionnel)
· Indice des fonctions métacognitives (Initiative, Mémoire de travail, Planification/Organisation, Organisation du matériel et
Autorégulation)
· Échelle globale des fonctions exécutives
Preschool Brief
Parent and teacher observations provide a wealth of information about a child's behavior that is relevant to understanding a child's executive functioning. Assessing executive functions in preschool children is often difficult because of the variable nature of behaviors in this age range (2 to 5 years) and possible motor and verbal limitations.
The BRIEF Preschool (BRIEF-P) is a standardized rating scale designed specifically to measure the magnitude of behavioral manifestations of executive function in preschool-aged children, thereby facilitating intervention at later stages of development.
BRIEF - SCHOOL
The School BRIEF (BRIEF) consists of two forms, one for parents and one for teachers, designed to assess executive functioning at home and in the school setting.
It is useful for detecting a wide spectrum of developmental disorders and the onset of neurological diseases in children, such as learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, pervasive developmental disorders (PDD), disorders associated with Gilles de La Tourette syndrome, traumatic brain injury, or disorders related to premature birth.
Features and benefits
Provides multiple perspectives. The Parent and Teacher Forms of the BRIEF each contain 86 items that measure different aspects of executive function.
Specific normative data based on age and gender. Separate normative tables for parent and teacher forms provide T scores, percentiles, and 90% confidence intervals for four developmental age groups by gender of the child.
Nonoverlapping scales. Theoretically and statistically derived scales measure different aspects of a child or adolescent’s behavior, such as his or her ability to control impulses, move freely from one situation to the next, modulate responses, anticipate future events, and keep track of the effect of his or her behavior on others.
Adult Brief
The BRIEF Adult (BRIEF-A) is useful in detecting a wide variety of developmental, systemic, neurological, and psychiatric disorders, such as attention deficit disorder, learning disabilities, autism spectrum disorder, traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, depression, mild cognitive impairment, dementia, and schizophrenia.
This is a standardized measure for assessing an adult's executive functions or self-regulation in their everyday environment. A self-report questionnaire and an informant report are used.
Technical information
The normative sample included 1,136 adults representing a wide range of racial and ethnic backgrounds, educational levels, and geographic regions. Population profiles, including incidence of ADHD, Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis, and more, are presented.
