Quantitative measures of memory malingering on the Wechsler Memory Scale--Third edition in mild head injury litigants.
Wechsler Memory Scale-Third edition (WMS-III) performance in 25 mild traumatic brain injury (TBI) litigants who met the criteria for probable malingered neurocognitive dysfunction (MND) was compared with 50 nonmalingering subjects. The base rate for probable MND in the population studied was 27%. Overall, malingerers showed globally depressed memory function. They returned significantly poorer ...

متن کاملClinical utility of Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised and predicted IQ discrepancies in closed head injury.
Comparisons between Wechsler Memory Scale-Revised (WMS-R) indexes and Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Revised (WAIS-R) IQ scores have been proposed to identify severity of memory deficits. However, many neurologic conditions reduce both intellectual and memory functioning, and thus, examining differences between these scores may be of little value. Closed head injured subjects who completed t...
متن کاملExploration of malingering indices in the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-Fourth Edition Digit Span subtest.
Prior research shows that Digit Span is a useful embedded measure of malingering. However, the Wechsler Adult Intelligence Scale-IV (Wechsler, 2008) altered Digit Span in meaningful ways, necessitating another look at Digit Span as an embedded measure of malingering. Using a simulated malingerer design, we examined the predictive accuracy of existing Digit Span validity indices and explored whe...
متن کاملWechsler Memory Scale performance and its relationship to brain damage after severe closed head injury.
Eighty-two patients with severe head injury were tested on the Wechsler Memory Scale and compared with 34 normal subjects. Head injured patients had severe memory difficulties, particularly on Logical Memory and Associate Learning. Severity of head injury (post-traumatic amnesia duration) was related to poor memory, as was increasing age, but both persisting neurological signs, including dyspha...
