La validación de las medidas de amnesia fingido con una amplia muestra clínica

ABSTRACT : A large sample of chronic postconcussive patients with and without overt malingering signs was compared with objectively brain-injured patients on common episodic memory and malingered amnesia measures. Probable malingerers and traumatically brain-injured subjects were not differentiated on popular episodic recall tests. In contrast, probable malingerers performed poorly on the Rey 15-Item, Rey Word Recognition List, Reliable Digit Span, Portland Digit Recognition Test, and Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test recognition trial. These findings validated both commonly cited malingering measures and newly introduced methods of classifying malingering in real-world clinical samples
