MN Executive Function Scale vs Abandoned

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.

Every day, one forgotten place — and the story of how it emptied. Drowned villages. Ghost cities. Decommissioned Soviet installations. Deserted islands that were once the most crowded places on Earth. Abandoned brings you a single forgotten place each morning, told in three quiet acts: what it was, why everyone left, and what remains. • A new place every day, with a haunting photograph and its true story • Then & Now — drag between a place full of life and the empty ruin it became • Vanished — a daily reckoning: plot where it lies, guess when it emptied, and how • The Atlas — a dark world map you slowly uncover, pin by pin • Descend — an immersive mode of drifting image, surfacing words, and ambient sound • Real coordinates and documented history, from places around the world Atmospheric, unhurried, and true. Come back each morning to another place the world left behind.
