Change in Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF-A) |
Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BREIF-A) is used to evaluate executive functioning.This questionnaire consist of 75 items on which the patient's symptoms are rated on a 3-point Likert scale. The questionnaire provides a Global Executive Composite score (range 75-225) and two index scores: the Behavioral Regulation Index (range 30-90) and the Metacognitive Index (range 40-120) in addition to nine subscales: Inhibit (range 8-24), Shift (range 6-18), Emotional control (range 10-30), Self-monitor (range 6-18), Initiate (range 8-24), Working memory (range 8-24), Plan/organize (range 10-30), Task monitor (range 6-18) and Organization of materials (range 8-24). Higher scores indicate more executive difficulties. |
