Assessment of Executive Functioning Using the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF)

  • Chapter
  • First Online:

Abstract

The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function (BRIEF) was one of the first attempts to measure executive function via self- and informant reports of everyday functioning in the real-world environment and was the first published measure of these self-regulatory capabilities in children and adolescents (Gioia, Isquith, Guy & Kenworthy, 2000a). The impetus for the BRIEF arose among the authors in 1994 while trying to reconcile the often discrepant parent and teacher reports of children’s everyday functioning at home and in school with their performance on putative performance measures (i.e., “tests”) of executive function. At that time, there were few such performance measures of executive function developed for children and adolescents, no rating scales or structured observational methods for evaluating executive functions, and very few published articles on executive function in children (Bernstein & Waber, 2007).
