Hayling Brixton Test

The Hayling and Brixton Tests are instruments designed for the assessment of executive functioning in individuals with frontal lobe damage or cognitive impairments. They help clinicians gain a better understanding of specific executive deficits and changes over time, providing reliable measures for diagnosis and ongoing monitoring.

This tool provides professional teams with a framework that facilitates accurate cognitive evaluation and allows them to tailor interventions based on detailed patterns of executive strengths and weaknesses.

Benefits:

• Targeted Executive Assessment: Specifically developed for patients with frontal lobe damage and dysexecutive syndromes.

• Efficient Administration: Short testing time (5–10 minutes) suitable for clinical settings with time constraints.

• Normative Data: Includes age-related and pre-morbid IQ cut-offs for precise interpretation.

• Versatile Use: Suitable for highly able individuals and those with deficits in speech, reading, or movement.

Key Features:

• Hayling Sentence Completion Test: Spoken test assessing response initiation speed and inhibition through two sets of 15 sentences requiring completion with fitting or non-fitting words.

• Brixton Spatial Anticipation Test: Non-verbal test measuring the ability to detect rules in sequences, ideal for patients with verbal or perceptual difficulties.

• Scaled Scores and Cut-offs: Facilitates detailed clinical decision-making with easily understood scaled scores and comprehensive normative data.

• Progress Monitoring: Useful for tracking executive function changes over time.
