Children use executive function (EF) skills within everyday occupations; however, EF poses a difficult and complex construct to measure. Currently, many measures of EF lack applicability to daily life, or ecological validity. The aim of this scoping review was to examine two aspects of ecological validity across measures, assessments, and tasks of EF in children. A scoping review of 355 peer-reviewed articles published between 1996 and 2016 was performed. Searching revealed 43 articles addressing the ecological validity of EF measures for children and 40 measures addressing ecological validity. An increasing number of articles address ecological validity of EF measures. Future research should address the interplay between context and EF performance. In addition, research should begin recognizing the importance of parental involvement in assessments, as well as ways to capture the EF strengths of children.
儿童在日常活动中运用执行功能（EF）技能；然而，执行功能是一个难以测量且复杂的概念。目前，许多执行功能的测量方法缺乏对日常生活的适用性，即缺乏生态效度。本范围综述的目的是研究儿童执行功能的测量方法、评估和任务在生态效度方面的两个维度。对1996年至2016年间发表的355篇同行评议文章进行了范围综述。检索发现43篇文章探讨了儿童执行功能测量方法的生态效度，以及40种涉及生态效度的测量方法。越来越多的文章关注执行功能测量方法的生态效度。未来的研究应关注情境与执行功能表现之间的相互作用。此外，研究应开始认识到父母参与评估的重要性，以及获取儿童执行功能优势的方法。
