The current study explored the association between the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool (BRIEF-P; Gioia, Espy, & Isquith, 2003 ) and a new battery of direct executive function (EF) measures designed for preschoolers. Forty-two typically developing 3- to 5-year-olds were given the Preschool Executive Function Battery (PEFB; Garon, Smith & Bryson, 2014); their mothers filled out the BRIEF-P. The findings support distinct associations between 3 BRIEF-P scales and corresponding direct EF measures. In particular, a strong association was found between the BRIEF-P Inhibition scale and children's performance on the PEFB Inhibition measure. The findings indicate that parent ratings of preschoolers' everyday EF behavior are related to performance on the PEFB, a laboratory measure. These findings have implications for early screening of children's EF difficulties as well as for future research.
本研究探讨了执行功能行为评定量表-学龄前版（BRIEF-P；乔亚、埃斯皮和伊斯奎思，2003年）与一组专为学龄前儿童设计的新的直接执行功能（EF）测量方法之间的关联。42名发育正常的3至5岁儿童接受了学龄前执行功能测试组（PEFB；加龙、史密斯和布赖森，2014年）测试；他们的母亲填写了BRIEF-P量表。研究结果支持了BRIEF-P量表的3个分量表与相应的直接EF测量方法之间存在明显关联。特别是，BRIEF-P抑制分量表与儿童在PEFB抑制测量中的表现之间存在强烈关联。研究结果表明，家长对学龄前儿童日常EF行为的评分与实验室测量方法PEFB的表现相关。这些发现对早期筛查儿童的EF困难以及未来研究具有启示意义。
