TI  - Assessment of executive dysfunction following traumatic brain injury: comparison 
      of the BADS with other clinical neuropsychological measures.
PG  - 606-13
AB  - Traditional neuropsychological measures of executive dysfunction (ED) are widely 
      believed to lack adequate sensitivity and selectivity. This may indicate that 
      existing measures are poorly designed and constructed, although an alternative 
      explanation is that executive cognition is multifactorial, such that its 
      assessment necessarily requires administration of multiple measures. This 
      possibility led to the development of a test battery, the Behavioural Assessment 
      of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS). To investigate the sensitivity of the BADS 
      to ED, it and various other measures of ED were administered to 64 persons who 
      had sustained traumatic brain injury. The treating clinical neuropsychologist and 
      occupational therapist for each participant also completed a behavioural rating 
      scale, the Dysexecutive Questionnaire (DEX). Four factors were found to underlie 
      scores on the neuropsychological measures, but few tests were sufficiently 
      powerful to make a significant unique contribution to predicting scores on the 
      DEX. This confirms that multiple tests, drawn from both the BADS and other 
      sources, may be necessary to detect ED in a clinical population.
