Psychometric properties of the Teenage Executive Functioning Inventory (TEXI): A freely available questionnaire for assessing deficits in working memory and inhibition among adolescents

Rather than interpreting this as poor validity, it has been argued that ratings and tests capture at least partly different constructs, and that ratings should therefore be seen as an important complement to rather than a replacement for tests. It should also be noted that recent advances have been made using virtual reality techniques for measuring cognitive functioning (e.g., Climent et al.) and it will be important for future research to determine how such methods can be used in combination with ratings to achieve more ecologically valid assessments.
