Measure Working Memory, Emotional Control, and Task Completion in Concussion Clients

The PostConcussion Executive Inventory measures working memory, emotional control, and initiate/task completion to help clinicians evaluate and monitor children and adolescents who are recovering from concussion. Use together with other members of the ConcussTrack family for a multimodal evaluation of concussion:

  • The new PostConcussion Symptom Inventory-2 (PCSI-2) evaluates physical, emotional, cognitive, and sleep/fatigue symptoms to assess recovery from concussion and help clinicians manage students' return to school and daily activities.
  • The Acute Concussion Evaluation (ACE) is a brief checklist that uses a standardized protocol to assess key elements of concussion to assist clinicians with diagnosis and inform treatment recommendations. It is available at no charge!

Features and benefits

  • Determines if post injury ratings of everyday function are clinically different from retrospective preinjury ratings. 
  • Monitors concussion recovery by comparing ratings over repeated visits.
  • Helpful when developing treatment recommendations, providing accommodations in school, and managing activities and expectations at home. 
  • Indicates if symptoms are attributable to the concussion or if they were part of the child's preinjury functioning.

FAQs

What is the technical information of the PCEI?

Test structure

  • Captures parent and student observations of change in functioning via separate Parent and Self-Report (for ages 11-18 years) forms. 
  • Uses items from the  BRIEF2—the gold-standard test for executive function. 
  • Includes three scales (Working Memory, Emotional Control, and Initiate [Parent Form]/Task Completion [Self-Report Form]) that each provide a Retrospective-Adjusted Post-Injury Difference (RAPID) score, and a Total RAPID score. 
  • Both forms include validity scales. 

Technical information

  • Data were collected from a large sample including parents (n = 1,668) and students ages 11-18 years (n = 1,229) split into symptomatic and asymptomatic groups. 
  • Internal consistency for the Total RAPID score across Parent and Self-Report forms ranged from .75 to .89 for the asymptomatic sample and from .91 to .93 for the symptomatic sample.
