Embedded 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). A comparison was made of the test performance and performance on the embedded Symptom Validity Tests (SVTs) with a control for multicolinearity utilized. Using the nine embedded SVTs in the MNB, the incidence of poor effort fell at 26% of ...
متن کاملSymptom validity test failure indicates invalidity of neuropsychological tests.
Neuropsychological and symptom validity test results from 220 archival cases were analyzed to determine if failing a symptom validity test (SVT) affects the relationship between neuropsychological tests and brain damage. 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...
متن کاملSymptom validity testing, effort, and neuropsychological assessment.
Symptom validity testing (SVT) has become a major theme of contemporary neuropsychological research. However, many issues about the meaning and interpretation of SVT findings will require the best in research design and methods to more precisely characterize what SVT tasks measure and how SVT test findings are to be used in neuropsychological assessment. Major clinical and research issues are o...
متن کاملNoncredible Explanations of Noncredible Performance on Symptom Validity Tests 5
Neuropsychologists measure brain function using standardized tests, or, at least that is the intention. For generations, it was assumed that differences in cognitive ability from one person to another were accurately mirrored by differences in cognitive test scores, although not perfectly because there was some random error. It was assumed that, in nearly all cases, people being administered co...
متن کاملAre embedded validity indices equivalent to free-standing symptom validity tests?
Symptom validity assessment is an important part of neuropsychological evaluation. There are currently several free-standing symptom validity tests (SVTs), as well as a number of empirically derived embedded validity indices, that have been developed to assess that an examinee is putting forth an optimal level of effort during testing. The use of embedded validity indices is attractive since th...
