Executive testing predicts functional loss in subjects with white matter lesions
2015
In order to assess ecological validity of executive function (EF) tests and the impact of EF dysfunction on functional status in elderly subjects with moderate and severe subcortical white matter hyperintensities (WMHs), we made a correlation analysis between EF scores and two measures of Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL). Trail-making test and CLOX correlated with the ability to perform IADL in subjects with severe WMH. EF tests might present low ecological validity for those with WMH below severe stage.
