Abstract

The Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS) is the first nationally standardized set of tests to evaluate higher-cognitive functions (executive functions) in both children and adults (ages 8–89 years). Published in 2001, the D-KEFS includes nine stand-alone tests that measure a wide array of verbal and nonverbal executive functions.
