Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Preschool Version (BRIEF-P)

Purpose: To assess executive functioning in preschool-aged children

Age: 2-5 years

Time: 10-15 minutes

The Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function–Preschool (BRIEF-P) is the first standardised measure of executive functioning available for the preschool-age child, thus facilitating intervention at earlier stages of development.

The BRIEF-P consists of a single Rating Form used by parents, teachers, and day care providers to rate a child’s executive functions within the context of his/her everyday environments – home and preschool. The Rating Form consists of 63 items that yield information for six non-overlapping clinical scales and two validity scales, which together form three broad indexes and a Global Executive Composite:

1. Inhibitory Self-Control Index - Inhibit, Emotional Control
2. Flexibility Index – Shift, Emotional Control
3. Emergent Metacognition Index –Working Memory, Plan/Organise

The BRIEF-P may be administered and scored online via PARiConnect.
