Claims this source bears on

Executive-function difficulties occur across multiple neurodevelopmental conditions and are heterogeneous within diagnoses, so executive-function measures should not be treated as condition-specific diagnostic signatures.

Claim reference: executive-function#executive-function-claim-transdiagnostic · Confidence: high · Evidence role: Legacy source route — no v0.2 contribution role inferred

Evidence limitations

None recorded.

Claim uncertainty

Which executive-function patterns, if any, meaningfully distinguish neurodevelopmental conditions after co-occurrence and within-diagnosis heterogeneity are handled properly?
What do performance tasks and informant questionnaires each measure, and when do differences between them matter?

Performance tests and informant questionnaires can capture different aspects of executive functioning and should not be assumed to be interchangeable measures of one underlying deficit.

Claim reference: executive-function#executive-function-claim-method · Confidence: moderate · Evidence role: Legacy source route — no v0.2 contribution role inferred

Evidence limitations

None recorded.

Claim uncertainty

What do performance tasks and informant questionnaires each measure, and when do differences between them matter?
How well do specific executive-function measures predict person-defined functioning in real environments?

Funding and conflicts
