BRIEF-2 (BEHAVIOR RATING INVENTORY OF EXECUTIVE

Name FUNCTION-SECOND EDITION)


Purpose: Assessment of executive functions
Short description: BRIEF-2 is a standardized tool for assessing executive functions in
children and adolescents in home and school environments. BRIEF-
2 is a further development of BRIEF and BRIEF-SR with a number of
improvements.

BRIEF-2 Parental Form and Teacher Form consists of 63 statements


each and nine clinical scales: Impulse Control, Self-monitoring,
Flexibility, Emotional Control, Commissioning, Work Memory,
Planning/Organization, Task Monitoring and Order.

BRIEF-2 Self-reporting form consists of 55 statements and seven


clinical scales: Impulse Control, Self-monitoring, Flexibility,
Emotional Control, Task Completion, Working Memory and
Planning/organizing.

BRIEF-2 also contains the validity scales: Inconsistency Scale,


Negativity Scale and Scale for Unusual Answers, which are included
in all three forms.

The clinical scales of BRIEF-2 include three indices: Behavioral


Control Index (ARI), Emotion Control Index (ERI) and Cognition
Regulation Index (CRI), which in its turn form an overall global
target: General Executive Function (GEF).

The screening versions of the BRIEF-2 parenting form, the teacher's


form and the self-reporting form consist of 12 statements each. The
screening versions provide a quick answer to whether there is any
further need for assessment of executive functions
