The INECO Frontal Screening (IFS) is a brief screening tool for assessing or Executive functions and thereby detecting Executive dysfunction ^[1]. The IFS was created in 2009 by Teresa Torralva and colleagues at the Institute of Cognitive Neurology (INECO)[1] in Buenos Aires, Argentina^[1]. The "frontal" in the name refers to the Frontal lobe, a part of the brain traditionally associated with executive functions.

The IFS consists of 8 subtests with a maximum of 30 points^[1]. The subtests are modified versions of pre-existing tests of executive functions.

Applications

The IFS has been validated as a screening test of executive functions in several disorders, including Alzheimer's disease^[1], Frontotemporal dementia^[1]^[2], Multiple sclerosis^[3], Bipolar disorder^[4], Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder^[4], and depression^[2].
