RBANS embedded measures of suboptimal effort in dementia: effort scale has a lower failure rate than the effort index.
The importance of evaluating effort in neuropsychological assessments has been widely acknowledged, but measuring effort in the context of dementia remains challenging due to the impact of dementia severity on effort measure scores. Two embedded measures have been developed for the repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status (RBANS; Randolph, C., Tierney, M. C., Mohr, E.,...
متن کاملComparison of the repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status effort scale and effort index in a dementia sample.
The aim of the current study was to compare two embedded measures of effort for the repeatable battery for the assessment of neuropsychological status (RBANS). Sensitivity and specificity of the Effort Index (EI) and Effort Scale (ES) were compared in a sample of individuals with genuine memory impairment (MI) and individuals coached to simulate MI. Overall, the EI yielded a sensitivity of 0.89...
متن کاملDetection of suboptimal effort with symbol span: development of a new embedded index.
Developing embedded indicators of suboptimal effort on objective neurocognitive testing is essential for detecting increasingly sophisticated forms of symptom feigning. The current study explored whether Symbol Span, a novel Wechsler Memory Scale-fourth edition measure of supraspan visual attention, could be used to discriminate adequate effort from suboptimal effort. Archival data were collect...
متن کاملUnit effects in software project effort estimation: Work-hours gives lower effort estimates than workdays
Context: Software development effort estimates are typically expert judgment-based and too low to reflect the actual use of effort. Objective: To understand how the choice of effort unit affects expert judgement-based effort estimates, and to use this knowledge to increase the realism of effort estimates. Method: Two experiments where the software professionals were randomly instructed to estim...
متن کاملA Survey of Lower-than-Best-Effort Transport Protocols
This document provides a survey of transport protocols that are designed to have a smaller bandwidth and/or delay impact on standard TCP than standard TCP itself when they share a bottleneck with it. Such protocols could be used for delay-insensitive "background" traffic, as they provide what is sometimes called a "less than" (or "lower than") best-effort service. (IETF). It represents the cons...
