AB  - OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the validity of the DEX-Questionnaire (both 
      completed by patients, DEX-Self and by therapists, DEX-TH), included in the 
      Behavioural Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS), at identifying 
      differences in the severity of dysexecutive symptoms according to lesion 
      location. It also examined the strength of associations of the DEX-Self and the 
      DEX-TH reports with the sub-tests of the BADS as well as two other real-life 
      executive tasks, the Everyday Description Task and the Twenty Question Test. 
      METHODS: This study compared 30 patients with anterior lesions (AL) to 22 
      patients with posterior lesions (PL). Twenty-nine healthy participants and their 
      relatives were included as controls. RESULTS: Significant group differences were 
      found only on the DEX-TH, but not on the DEX-Self, indicating poor insight in 
      patients with AL. The DEX-TH were revealed accurate in detecting more severe 
      dysexecutive symptoms in the AL group. Furthermore, only the DEX-TH reportings 
      were significantly correlated with the above executive tests. Multiple regression 
      analysis showed that the Modified Six Elements Test, a sub-test of the BADS, 
      predicted DEX-TH as accurately as the total BADS. CONCLUSION: The DEX-TH 
      reportings and the MSET can provide valuable information about the severity of 
      daily executive dysfunctioning, with implications for cognitive rehabilitation.
