Abstract
Executive functioning is one of the most researched and debated topics in neuropsychology. Although neuropsychologists routinely consider executive functioning and intelligence in their assessment process, more information is needed regarding the relationship between these constructs. This study reports the results of a canonical correlation study between the most widely used measure of adult intelligence, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale, 3rd edition (WAIS-III; Wechsler, Citation1997), and the Delis-Kaplan Executive Function System (D-KEFS; Delis, Kaplan, & Kramer, Citation2001). The results suggest that, despite considerable shared variability, the measures of executive functioning maintain unique variance that is not encapsulated in the construct of global intelligence.
Notes
Note. WAIS-III composites have a mean of 100 and SD of 15. D-KEFS tests have a mean of 10 and SD of 3.
