The BADS stands for?

What is Behavioural Assessment of Dysexecutive Syndrome. 

100
The BADS aims to?

What is predict everyday problems arising from Dysexecutive Syndrome   

100

The Rule Shift Cards Test measures consist of?

What is time taken and number of errors. 

100
The subtests are scored on a scale of?

What is 0 to 4 where 4 represents optimal performance. 

100

The BADS assessment kit is located here?

What is the cognitive assessment cupboard in 5th floor rehab gym. 

200

True or False: The BADS is made up of a battery of tests.

True
200

The BADS is standardized for this age range?

What is 16 - 87. 

200

The Action Program Test requires these materials to administer?

1) container screw top

2) container 

3) wire hook 

4) test base with tub and cork and beaker and lid 

5) water 

6) paper towel 

7) stopwatch 

200

The total profile score is obtained by doing what?

Summing all 6 individual sub-tests, giving a maximum range of 0 to 24. 

200

The caveats to administering individual subtests from the BADS are?

What is: 

- You cannot calculate the full BADS profile score which combines all 6 subtests into a standardized score. 

- If using for diagnostic purposes (which we cannot do), you cannot make a definitive diagnosis. 

- Want to pair with at least the DEX questionnaire to maximize ecological validity. 

300

What year was the BADS made?

1996

300

The BADS is made up of these many tests and questionnaires. 

What is 6 tests, and 1 questionnaire. 

300

The development of the Key Search Test was influenced by a task in what other assessment?

What is the Stanford-Binet Intelligence Scale. 

300

Is the DEX factored into the BADS profile score?

No
300

True or False: the BADS is a cross cultural measure?

False. The BADS was originally standardized on UK middle class population. The BADS is not strongly considered to be cross cultural. While designed to be ecologically valid by simulating real world planning and problem solving, its heavy reliance on Western, industrialized norms requires careful, localized adaptation. 

400

Dysexecutive Syndrome is?

What is a cluster of impairments generally associated with damage to the frontal lobes of the brain. These impairments include difficulties with high-level tasks such as planning, organizing, initiating, monitoring and adapting behavior.

400

The 6 tests are?

What is

1) Rule Shift Cards Test 

2) Action Program Test 

3) Key Search Test 

4) Temporal Judgement Test 

5) Zoo Map Test 

6) Modified Six Elements Test 

400
The Temporal Judgement Test is made up of how many questions?
What is 4. 
400
Profile scores are translated int what classifications?

What is: 

  • 0–11: Impaired
  • 12–13: Borderline
  • 14–15: Low Average
  • 16–20: Average
  • 21–22: High Average
  • 23–24: Superior to Very
400

Patients who score low on the Action Program test, may have challenges doing what types of functional activities?

What is have challenges with executing multi-step chores, adapting to novel situations, and task sequencing. 

500

The BADS is appropriate for these types of populations?

What is TBI, frontal lobe damage, detecting early executive deficits like schizophrenia and Alzheimer's. 

500

The DEX Questionnaire is completed by who?

What is the patient and someone who knows the patient well. 
500

The Zoo Map Test consists of this many trials.

2

500

The test-retest reliability of the BADS is not necessarily considered high due to what reason?

What is a key aspect of assessing dysexecutive syndrome is novelty. 
500

Discussion Question: Is this assessment appropriate for the acute care setting?

Group discussion.
