Attention & Executive Function
On the NEPSY-II Auditory Attention subtest, 25% of patients (total n = 57) performed at one SD or more below the mean (i.e., scaled score ≤ 6), while 18% of patients (total n = 38) performed in this range on the Response Set subtest. Both NEPSY-II subtests were correlated with cognitive mean scores, while only Response Set was associated with academic mean scores. For a review of WISC-V, WJ-4, and NEPSY-2 scores, see Table 2.
On the BRIEF-2, parent report suggested 20% of patients had executive functioning concerns in the mildly to clinically elevated range (T score ≤ 60). On the Conners-3, parent report suggested that 20% of patients had concerns with inattention, 12% had concerns related to hyperactivity, and 31% had concerns related to executive functioning. For review of mean scores, see Table 3. Parent report of executive functioning (on the BRIEF-2 and Conners-3) and attention concerns (on the Conners-3) were correlated with one another, but not associated with cognitive or academic mean scores.
