The BRIEF-2 is a standardized assessment tool used to evaluate executive functions in children and adolescents aged 5-18. It consists of parent, teacher, and self-report forms with rating scales that measure behaviors related to flexibility, working memory, planning, organization, inhibition and emotional control. The forms generate scores in behavioral, emotional and cognitive regulation domains as well as an overall executive function score. A brief screening version is also available to identify students needing further executive function assessment.

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
