Real-Life tasks could reveal hidden thinking problems in children
NCT ID NCT07654920
First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested a new tool called eEFEe that measures executive functions—skills like planning and problem-solving—in children aged 7 to 18. Instead of standard lab tests, kids performed everyday tasks like sorting documents or cooking. The goal was to create reference norms so doctors can better identify executive function difficulties in real-world settings.
What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
eEFEe ecological assessment (a set of everyday tasks to measure executive functions)
What this could lead to
If successful, this study will provide doctors with a better way to spot executive function difficulties in children by using real-life tasks instead of just lab tests.
What could go wrong
This is a small, completed study focused on healthy children, so it may not apply to all groups. The tool still needs more testing before it can be used widely in clinics.
