Executive dysfunctions are central symptoms in different neurological, developmental, and context-related conditions. The assessment of these functions is then essential in neuropsychological pediatric clinical practice. Given the need for reliable and valid evaluation batteries for clinical practice in Brazil, this study aimed to present the pieces of evidences of reliability of the Child Executive Functions Battery (CEF-B). A total of 230 Brazilian children with typical development aged between 7 and 12 years participated in the study. Internal consistency was determined by the split-half method, Cronbach’s α, and Ω. In addition, measurements of test-retest reliability and intraclass coefficient were also performed. Retest indicators were mostly weak and moderate (between .43 and .75). Overvall, coefficients show a satisfactory internal consistency reliability for planning and inhibition measures (between .72 and .92). Considering the measures of WM, results were also satisfactory for both α and Ω indexes. This study revealed that the CEF-B has satisfactory internal consistency reliability coefficients. However, several tests have shown low reliability assessed through the test-retest method. In general, findings reveal interesting pieces of initial evidence of reliability of the Brazilian version. The methodological approach could be improved in future studies by including children with executive disorders.

巴西版儿童执行功能电池 (CEF-B) 可靠性的证据

执行功能障碍是不同神经、发育和背景相关疾病的核心症状。在神经心理学儿科临床实践中，对这些功能的评估是必不可少的。鉴于巴西临床实践需要可靠和有效的评估组，本研究旨在提供儿童执行功能组 (CEF-B) 可靠性的证据。共有 230 名年龄在 7 至 12 岁之间的典型发育的巴西儿童参加了这项研究。内部一致性由分半法、Cronbach α 和 Ω 确定。此外，还进行了重测信度和组内系数的测量。重新测试指标大多为弱和中等（介于 0.43 和 0.75 之间）。总而言之，系数表明计划和抑制措施具有令人满意的内部一致性可靠性（介于 0.72 和 0.92 之间）。考虑到 WM 的测量，α 和 Ω 指标的结果也令人满意。本研究表明，CEF-B 具有令人满意的内部一致性信度系数。然而，一些测试表明通过测试-再测试方法评估的可靠性较低。总的来说，调查结果揭示了巴西版本可靠性的有趣初步证据。通过纳入患有执行障碍的儿童，可以在未来的研究中改进方法论方法。本研究表明，CEF-B 具有令人满意的内部一致性信度系数。然而，一些测试表明通过测试-再测试方法评估的可靠性较低。总的来说，调查结果揭示了巴西版本可靠性的有趣初步证据。通过纳入患有执行障碍的儿童，可以在未来的研究中改进方法论方法。本研究表明，CEF-B 具有令人满意的内部一致性信度系数。然而，一些测试表明通过测试-再测试方法评估的可靠性较低。总的来说，调查结果揭示了巴西版本可靠性的有趣初步证据。通过纳入患有执行障碍的儿童，可以在未来的研究中改进方法论方法。
