A Comparison of Four Tests of Malingering and the Effects of Coaching

Abstract: This study examined the ability of four measures of suboptimal performance to correctly classify four groups of subjects (normal controls, uncoached malingering, coached malingering, and head injured). Only the Portland Digit Recognition Test-Computerized (PDRT-C) identified simulating malingerers with greater than chance accuracy while minimizing false positives. Coached subjects were better able than their uncoached counterparts to avoid detection on all measures. In an additional analysis, a discriminant fu… Show more

“…Meanwhile, systematic research on the effect of coaching on the accuracy of symptom validity tests is largely lacking (Blaskewitz & Merten, 2007; Gorny & Merten, 2005; Suhr & Gunstad, 2007). What is known, though, is that when coaching is brief and involves only a superficial introduction to the to‐be‐feigned symptoms, its undermining effects on the ability of symptom validity tests to detect feigning are limited (e.g., Rose, Hall, Szalda‐Petree, & Bach, 1998). On the other hand, one can also find examples in the literature where more extensive forms of coaching did lead to considerable drops in the efficacy of symptom validity tests to detect feigned disorders (e.g., Gunstad & Suhr, 2001).…”

“…Otro estudio de Rose et al (1998) , 2002) también informaron que en su estudio las puntuaciones de latencia en la TOMM-C los TR del grupo simulador fueron más largos en relación con el grupo control.…”

“…Sin embargo los TR del grupo simulador fueron más cortos que los obtenidos por el grupo clínico (deterioro objetivo). Estos resultados concuerdan con los obtenidos por Rose, Hall, Szalda-Petree & Bach (1998), quienes utilizando la prueba portland digit recognition test-computerized (PDRT-C) reportaron que los TR de los grupos simuladores y simuladores entrenados fueron significativamente más cortos que el grupo con traumatismo craneoencefálico y más largos que el grupo control.…”
