MN Executive Function Scale vs Go/No

The Minnesota Executive Function Scale (MEFS) is a subscription service for assessing executive function skills using a brief, standardized instrument administered on an iPad®. Executive function refers to the neuro-cognitive skills needed for successful learning and performance in school, at work, and in life. They include cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibitory control. How does the MEFS work? The MEFS is easy to use, but is intended to be administered only by trained and certified examiners. That is how you can be sure the MEFS results and norms are reliable and valid. The App will be fully accessible to subscribing organizations with secure login credentials provided by Reflection Sciences upon signed user license agreement.

Widely used in ADHD, impulse control, and cognitive neuroscience research. Edit the number of trials per session, stimulus duration, response window and more to match your study design exactly. Collect & Send the results directly to your personal email address. Exported CSV files include reaction times, hits, misses, false alarms and correct rejections per trial. With our focus on usability the application can be used easily by anyone. Because of this it doesn't matter if your subjects are digital natives or people with zero to none tablet experience.
