متن کاملVictoria Symptom Validity Test performance in acute severe traumatic brain injury: implications for test interpretation.
Effort testing has become commonplace in clinical practice. Recent research has shown that performance on effort tests is highly correlated with performance on neuropsychological measures. Clinical application of effort testing is highly dependent on research derived interpretive guidelines. The Victoria Symptom Validity Test (VSVT) is one of many measures currently used in clinical practice. T...

The aim of the present study was to investigate whether Symptom Validity Testing (SVT) can be used to detect feigning of crime-related amnesia. Undergraduate students (N = 39) were instructed to commit a mock crime and aske...
