Assessing executive functioning is crucial in neuropsychology, since alterations in these processes are common in conditions such as ADHD, acquired brain injury, and cognitive decline, significantly affecting a person’s ability to plan, regulate, and adapt to daily challenges.

While traditional paper-based tests remain useful, virtual reality tools offer a more ecologically valid and objective way to assess executive functions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Let’s look at the most frequently asked questions about Executive Functions tests.

How to assess executive functioning with Nesplora's test?

The Executive Functions Ice Cream test assesses multiple executive components in controlled but realistic situations. Through an interactive virtual environment, the test observes how individuals handle everyday tasks that require planning, inhibition, working memory, and cognitive flexibility. Unlike traditional assessments, this VR-based format ensures greater ecological validity, as participants face realistic challenges similar to those encountered in daily life. It also provides objective data on response times, accuracy, and error types, enhancing the richness of neuropsychological interpretation.

What is the executive functioning assessment process like using Nesplora?

In the Ice Cream test, the participant is placed in a simulated scenario under the premise of “It’s your first day working at an ice cream shop.” This immersive environment activates planning, decision-making, information updating, and task switching. The software records real-time performance, tracking variables such as the number and type of errors, task completion times, and planning efficiency. At the end, the system generates an automatic report that highlights the individual’s strengths and weaknesses in executive functioning. Thanks to recently updated normative data for adults, the results can be compared to a representative sample of the same age group, providing high diagnostic accuracy and interpretive precision.
