Dr. A’s executive functioning was extensively tested using portions of the Delis–Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) battery (Delis et al., 2004). These included the D-KEFS Trails, a modification of the standard Trailmaking test, and the D-KEFS Color Naming Test, which is a variation of the traditional Stroop Test.

Another systematic examination of EF in this population was recently published by Mattson et al. (1999). This study utilized the new Delis Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) battery (Delis et al., 2001) to assess four domains of EF: cognitive flexibility, response inhibition, planning, and concept formation and reasoning. FAS/PEA children had significantly lower IQ scores than the normally developing control children and group differences emerged across all four domains.

Stubberud (2017) investigated the same population of 38 participants for their relationship between IQ, executive function, and emotional recognition ability. Executive function was measured with the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System. Emotion recognition was measured with the Reading the Mind in the Eyes Test (RMET).35 The mean IQ scores of the participants were within the normal range. The mean Full Scale IQ was 91.5 (SD 14.1) (population norm mean 100, SD 15). The group mean RMET score was 23.7 (SD 3.9) with a median score of 24 (a score below 22 on the RMET indicates difficulty in understanding another person’s mental state.36) There was no association between executive function as subjectively reported on the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function for Adults (BRIEF-A) and emotion recognition.35

The Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (Delis, Kaplan, & Kramer, 2001) is a standardized measure of executive function with strong psychometric properties (Delis, Kramer, Kaplan, & Holdnack, 2004). This battery includes nine tests that examine various executive component skills (e.g., planning, shifting, reasoning, flexible thinking, fluency). We chose to focus on The Color-Word Interference Test, which assesses the ability to inhibit a prepotent verbal response through four separate conditions (Delis et al., 2001). Conditions 3 and 4 were selected for inclusion because these two conditions are most sensitive to inhibitory control and set shifting, whereas conditions 1 and 2 are most sensitive to overall processing speed.

Problem-solving was measured using the Twenty Questions Test, a subtest of the Delis–Kaplan Executive Function System [36]. Clients are shown a set of 30 pictures laid out in a 5 × 6 grid; each picture shows a common, everyday object. Clients are instructed to identify an image chosen by the test administrator by asking as few yes/no questions as possible, to a maximum of 20 questions. Lower scores reflect better problem-solving skills. The Delis–Kaplan Executive Function System was standardised on a sample of 1750 Americans ranging from 8 to 89 years of age; internal consistency within this normative population was moderate to high [37].
