Executive functions (EFs) are cognitive processes crucial for children’s development and accomplishment of everyday activities. They are often assessed with performance-based tasks, which tend to lack real-world applicability. This scoping review aimed to provide an overview of the available literature published between 2010-2021 about authentic assessment of EFs in early childhood. An extraction grid was designed to analyze 53 articles. Results were presented in a narrative and graphical format. The instruments and procedures used to assess executive functions authentically were identified, as well as EFs commonly assessed in children. The need for more authentic assessment practices of EFs is discussed. Author Citation: Maria Londono, PhD Candidate; Carmen Dionne, PhD; Carl Lacharité, Phd;
