Disease relevance of Malingering

  • Assessment of malingering after mild head trauma with the Portland Digit Recognition Test [1].
  • Sentence Repetition (SR) and Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test-Recognition Task (AVLT-R) scores of 5 groups of examinees (severe traumatic brain injury [TBI], mild TBI nonlitigants, normal controls, mild TBI litigants, and actors) were compared with the intent of determining cutoffs for the detection of malingering [2].
 

Psychiatry related information on Malingering

  • Effects of coaching on detection of malingering on the California Verbal Learning Test [3].
  • One hundred and forty-five subjects referred to one of two Dutch national assessment centers for CTE were administered the Amsterdam Short-Term Memory Test (ASTM) and the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM), two tests specifically developed for the detection of suboptimal performance [4].
  • Trail making test cut-offs for malingering among cocaine, heroin, and alcohol abusers [5].
  • Validation of a new technique to detect malingering of cognitive symptoms: the b Test [6].
  • The study also investigated whether PAI indexes of symptom exaggeration, the Negative Impression Management (NIM) scale and the Malingering index, could identify individuals feigning PTSD [7].
 

High impact information on Malingering

  • The M Test, a brief test for measuring malingering of schizophrenic illness, contains true-false items describing actual symptoms of schizophrenia, bizarre attitudes and beliefs, and fake symptoms [8].
  • Differentiation of conversive sensory loss and malingering by P300 in a modified oddball task [9].
  • Presented are four patients claiming cognitive deficits after apparent occupational neurotoxic exposure who were diagnosed as malingering using the Slick, Sherman, and Iverson criteria [10].
  • The 'old/new effect', an ERP measure thought to reflect recognition memory processes, did not differ between the groups, indicating recognition of previously learned material in the malingering group despite poor test performance [11].
  • Discriminant functions with a reduced set of predictors correctly classified about 75% of cases in both the Control and the combined Malingering Groups on cross-validation [12].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of Malingering

  • The TBI patients were assigned to one of five groups using the Slick, Sherman, and Iverson (1999) criteria: no incentive, incentive only, suspect, and malingering (both Probable MND and Definite MND) [13].
  • This study investigated the effects of a variety of faking strategies on the Weight Factor correction scores (designed to detect malingering) of the Millon Clinical Multiaxial Inventory, a relatively new personality questionnaire [14].
  • If an individual is not demented (as judged by such tests as the BNI Screen for Higher Cerebral Functions) and performs at a level less than 95% across three trials of the DMT, the question of noncooperation with testing procedures or "malingering" should be considered [15].
 

Gene context of Malingering

  • Detection of malingering in assessment of adult ADHD [16].
  • Two studies were conducted to examine the combined use of neuropsychological and ERP methods for identifying malingering because of the potential independence of these approaches [17].
  • This suggests that P3 used as an index of the intactness of recognition memory may be useful in cases of suspected malingering [18].
  • The six indicators were the PAI Positive Impression (PIM) and Negative Impression (NIM) scales, the Malingering and Defensiveness Indexes, and two discriminant functions, one developed by Cashel and the other by Rogers [19].
  • Malingering on the RAVLT: Part II. Detection strategies [20].
