This is an ecological test of adaptation in head‐injured adults, reporting reliability and validity of the Executive Function Route‐finding Task (EFRT; Boyd and Sautter, 1985). A Likert scale was used to rate executive aspects of route‐finding such as task formulation, strategy of approach, detection and correction of errors, and dependence on cueing among 31 head‐injured young adults within a large rehabilitation facility. The Task has high inter‐rater reliability and acceptable concurrent validity with other neuropsychological constructs.
