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).

Previous work in a disability-seeking sample has demonstrated that as symptom validity test (SVT) scores decline, there is a corresponding increase in subjective reports of memory problems as measured by the Memory Complaints Inventory (MCI). The current archival study examined this relationship in a clinical sample of active and retired military service members and their adult family members w...
متن کاملSymptom validity test performance in the Huntington Disease Clinic.
Symptom validity tests (SVTs) are often used in neuropsychological assessment; however, recent studies indicate that cognitive impairment/dementia may contribute to failing scores on some effort tests. The purpose of this study was to characterize how individuals with Huntington disease (HD) perform on three SVTs and to examine the relationship between SVT performance and demographic and clinic...

Results reveal that among those who failed either the Word Memory Test (WMT) or the Computerized Test of Attention and Memory (CTAM) there was no correlation between the result...
