当执行功能（EF）任务用于组间比较或检查认知与精神疾病病因和维持因素之间的关系时，假设测量可靠性。然而，EF任务的重测信度很少在幼儿中得到检验。此外，典型发展人群和精神病人群之间的测量不变性尚未得到检验。在一组5-6岁患有（n=63）和没有（n=44）多动症的儿童中评估了一系列常用EF任务的重测信度。很少有单独的任务达到了足够的可靠性。然而，CFA模型确定了两个因素，工作记忆和抑制，测试-重测相关性接近1.0。多指标多原因（MIMIC）模型证实了组间的组态测量不变性。可靠性差造成的问题，包括索引随时间变化的能力降低或检测与功能结果的关系的能力降低，可以使用潜在变量方法来缓解。
Measurement reliability is assumed when executive function (EF) tasks are used to compare between groups or to examine relationships between cognition and etiologic and maintaining factors for psychiatric disorders. However, the test-retest reliabilities of EF tasks have rarely been examined in young children. Further, measurement invariance between typically-developing and psychiatric populations has not been examined. Test-retest reliability of a battery of commonly-used EF tasks was assessed in a group of children between the ages of 5–6 years old with (n=63) and without (n=44) ADHD. Few individual tasks achieved adequate reliability. However, CFA models identified two factors, working memory and inhibition, with test-retest correlations approaching 1.0. Multiple indicator multiple causes (MIMIC) models confirmed configural measurement invariance between the groups. Problems created by poor reliability, including reduced power to index change over time or to detect relationships with functional outcomes, may be mitigated using latent variable approaches.
