Cross-cultural effect on suboptimal effort detection: an example of the Digit Span subtest of the WAIS-III in Taiwan.
Suppressed Digit Span performance has been proposed as an embedded indicator for suboptimal effort detection in neuropsychological evaluations in Western societies, particularly in the USA. However, its effectiveness in Chinese countries remains unexplored. The purposes of this study were first to explore normative Digit Span performance patterns between the Taiwan and American standardization ...
متن کاملSpeed and memory in the WAIS-III Digit Symbol--Coding subtest across the adult lifespan.
The primary role of speed in determining Digit Symbol scores is well established. Among the important questions that remain to be resolved are: (1) whether speed accounts for all of the age-related decline in Digit Symbol scores, and (2) whether memory ability makes any significant contribution to Digit Symbol performance, especially after controlling for speed. We analyzed data from the WAIS-I...
متن کاملEvaluation of multidimensional models of WAIS-IV subtest performance.
OBJECTIVE The present study examined the extent to which the covariance structure of the WAIS-IV is best accounted for by models that assume that test performance is the result of group-level factors and multiple independent general factors. METHOD Structural models with one to four general factors were evaluated with either four or five group-level factors. Simulations based on four general ...
متن کاملEmbedded symptom validity tests and overall neuropsychological test performance.
A sample of 314 consecutive clinical and forensic referrals with mild traumatic brain injury was evaluated using the Meyers Neuropsychological Battery (MNB). A comparison was made of the test performance and performance on the embedded Symptom Validity Tests (SVTs) with a control for multicolinearity utilized. Using the nine embedded SVTs in the MNB, the incidence of poor effort fell at 26% of ...
متن کاملIncremental criterion validity of WAIS-IV factor index scores: relationships with WIAT-II and WIAT-III subtest and composite scores.
The present study examined the incremental validity of Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-4th Edition (WAIS-IV; Wechsler, 2008a) factor index scores in predicting academic achievement on the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test-2nd Edition (WIAT-II; Psychological Corporation, 2002a) and on the Wechsler Individual Achievement Test-3rd Edition (WIAT-III; Wechsler, 2009a) beyond that predicted by t...
