A validation of multiple malingering detection methods in a large clinical sample.
The purpose of this study is to further previous research that has shown that common neuropsychological tests can do "double duty" as test of motivation/malingering. Using a large clinical sample of 796 participants, it was found that the nine neuropsychological tests (when used together) were able to correctly identify litigant and nonlitigating groups. Failure on any two of the malingering te...
متن کاملDerivation and clinical validation of consistency indices on the test of memory malingering.
Response consistency (CNS) is considered in free-standing performance validity measures like the Medical Symptom Validity Test (MSVT). This study examined the utility of CNS scores on the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM). CNS indices were derived in a non-clinical undergraduate sample randomized to control (n = 73), naïve simulator (n = 73), and coached simulator (n = 73) groups. Two of the th...
متن کاملEfficacy of test of memory malingering Trial 1, Trial 2, the Retention Trial, and the Albany Consistency Index in a criterion group forensic neuropsychological sample.
The Test of Memory Malingering is one of the most popular and heavily researched validity tests available for use in neuropsychological evaluations. Recent research has suggested, however, that the original indices and cutoffs may require modifications to increase sensitivity rates. Some of these modifications lack cross-validation and no study has examined all indices in a single sample. This ...
متن کاملMalingering detection in a Spanish population with a known-groups design.
Malingering detection has become a topic of increased interest in the US over the last years. However, this development has not been matched in Europe. For example, in Spain there is insufficient evidence to support the use of reliable and valid malingering tests. In this study, we tested the applicability of two malingering detection tests (Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) and Dot Counting Te...
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...
