The"dysexecutive syndrome" is composed of a range of cognitive, emotional, and behavioral deficits that are difficult to evaluate using traditional neuropsychological tests. The Multiple Errands Test (MET) was originally developed to systematize the assessment of the more elusive manifestations of the dysexecutive syndrome. The aims of this study were to examining the reliability of the MET and to investigate the predictive ability of its indices to explain a range of "dysexecutive"-related symptoms in everyday life. Thirty patients with acquired brain injury participated in this study. The MET showed an adequate inter-rater reliability and ecological validity. The main performance indices from the MET were able to significantly predict severity of everyday life executive problems, with different indices predicting particular manifestations of different components of executive functions.
“执行功能障碍综合征”由一系列认知、情感和行为缺陷组成，使用传统神经心理学测试难以评估。多项任务测试（MET）最初是为了系统地评估执行功能障碍综合征更难以捉摸的表现而开发的。本研究旨在检验 MET 的可靠性，并研究其指数的预测能力，以解释日常生活中一系列与“执行功能障碍”相关的症状。30 名获得性脑损伤患者参加了这项研究。MET 表现出足够的评分者间可靠性和生态有效性。MET 的主要表现指标能够显著预测日常生活中执行问题的严重程度，不同的指标预测执行功能不同成分的不同表现。
