Description

We applied a factor analysis to results of the Behavioural Assessment of the Dysexecutive Syndrome (BADS) , Japanese version. The data were collected from 65 subjects with brain damage. From the results, we extracted two factors. One factor was interpreted as action planning ability, and the other factor as estimating ability. These factor scores were distributed in accordance with overall BADS classifications. Next, correlations between factor scores and neuropsychological assessment (intelligence, memory and attention tests) were examined. The factor scores of action planning ability (factor 1) correlated general cognitive function, and the factor scores of estimating ability (factor 2) correlated with tasks associated with working memory. We were unable to find any association between neurobehavioral disabilities and overall BADS classification results. We concluded that BADS is useful to evaluate action planning ability and estimating ability in dysexecutive syndrome, but that it is not applicable to neurobehavioral disorders.
