This study compared the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) Tower Test to the Tower of London (TOL)(DX) in assessing executive functioning (EF) during a psycho-educational assessment by examining students' performances on both tests. Forty-two university students were administered both tests in a counterbalanced order. Findings indicate that students did not perform significantly differently on the D-KEFS Tower Test than on the TOL(DX), but that the tests only shared 22% of their variance. Although the moderate correlation found between overall achievement scores indicates that the D-KEFS Tower Test assesses some similar EF abilities as the TOL(DX), the different problem spaces between these tests may be tapping into different constructs and may account for the non-shared variance.
本研究通过考察学生在两项测试中的表现，将德利-卡普兰执行功能系统（D-KEFS）塔楼测试与伦敦塔测试（TOL）（DX）在心理教育评估过程中评估执行功能（EF）的情况进行了比较。42名大学生以平衡顺序接受了这两项测试。研究结果表明，学生在D-KEFS塔楼测试中的表现与在TOL（DX）测试中的表现没有显著差异，但两项测试的方差仅共享22%。尽管在总体成绩分数之间发现了适度的相关性，这表明D-KEFS塔楼测试评估了一些与TOL（DX）类似的EF能力，但这些测试之间不同的问题空间可能涉及不同的结构，并且可能解释了未共享的方差。
