The term ‘Dysexecutive Syndrome’ includes disorders of planning, organisation, problem solving, setting priorities, and attention and is one of the major areas of cognitive deficit that can impede functional recovery and the ability to respond to rehabilitation programs.
BADS specifically assesses the skills and demands involved in everyday life. It is sensitive to the capacities affected by frontal lobe damage, emphasising those usually exercised in everyday situations such as:
- Temporal judgment
- Cognitive flexibility and inhibition of response
- Practical problem solving
- Strategy formation
- Ability to plan, and task scheduling
