| Abstract: | Acquired brain injury (ABI) often leads to deficits in executive functioning (EF) responsible for severe and long-standing disabilities in daily life activities. The Cooking Task is an ecological and valid test of EF involving multi-tasking in a real environment. Given its complex scoring system, it is important to establish the tool's reliability. The objective of the study was to examine the reliability of the Cooking Task (internal consistency, inter-rater and test–retest reliability). A total of 160 patients with ABI (113 men, mean age 37 years,SD= 14.3) were tested using the Cooking Task. For test–retest reliability, patients were assessed by the same rater on two occasions (mean interval 11 days) while two raters independently and simultaneously observed and scored patients' performances to estimate inter-rater reliability. Internal consistency was high for the global scale (Cronbach α = .74). Inter-rater reliability (n= 66) for total errors was also high (ICC = .93), however the test–retest reliability (n= 11) was poor (ICC = .36). In general the Cooking Task appears to be a reliable tool. The low test–retest results were expected given the importance of EF in the performance ofnoveltasks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
