The present study aimed at deriving, by means of a traditional “2 standard deviation-based” (2SD) approach, single task-level cutoffs for the Italian version of the Edinburgh Cognitive and Behavioral ALS Screen (ECAS). Cutoffs were derived – as  M -2* SD  – from the sample of healthy participants (HPs) included within 2016 Poletti  et al. ’s normative study –  N  = 248; 104 males; age: 57.8 ± 10.6; education: 14.1 ± 4.6 – separately for the four, original demographic classes: 1) education &lt;14 years and age ≤60 years; 2) education &lt;14 years and age &gt;60 years; 3) education ≥14 years and age ≤60 years; 4) education ≥14 years and age &gt;60 years. The prevalence of deficits on each task was then estimated within a cohort of  N  = 377 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients without dementia. The distribution of abnormal performance prevalences was overall consistent with the cognitive phenotype of ALS. In conclusion, the single task-level cutoffs herewith provided for the Italian version of the ECAS, which complement those already available within Poletti  et al. ’s normative framework, will help better profile Italian ALS patients’ cognitive phenotype within both clinical and research settings.
