MN Executive Function Scale 3.0.10

The Minnesota Executive Function Scale (MEFS) is a subscription-based assessment tool designed to evaluate executive function skills through a brief, standardized procedure administered via an iPad®. Executive functions encompass essential neurocognitive skills such as cognitive flexibility, working memory, and inhibitory control, which are critical for effective learning, performance at work, and everyday life.

Operationally, the MEFS offers an accessible platform that requires administration solely by trained and certified examiners. This ensures the reliability and validity of the results and established normative data. Subscribing organizations gain secure access to the application through login credentials provided by Reflection Sciences following the execution of a user license agreement.

• Developed by leading research experts in developmental neuroscience
• An early childhood version tailored for children aged 2 to 7 years
• Interactive avatar selection to engage users during assessment
