摘要
Research on everyday executive functions in individuals with Down Syndrome (DS) has focused mostly on children and adolescents. The current study examined everyday executive functions in DS adults. 27 DS adults (aged 22.00 to 42.00 years) were tested using the Behaviour Rating Inventory of Executive Function-Adult Informant Version (BRIEF-A). Findings revealed that DS adults exhibited greater impairments in Global Executive Composite (GEC), Working Memory, Plan/Organise, Task-Monitor and the Metacognition Index (MI) relative to typically developing adults in the normative sample. Substantial variabilities were found in all everyday executive function abilities among DS adults. Findings highlight the importance of making comprehensive assessments of everyday executive functions in DS individuals in order to identify problem areas and plan individualised support programmes.
