“…Measures designed to assess memory or neuropsychological functioning can serve a dual role in the assessment process because of their ability to assess a patient's cognitive functioning as well as his or her level of effort or response style (Gfeller & Cradock, 1998;Greve, Bianchini, Mathias, Houston, & Crouch, 2003;Langeluddecke & Lucas, 2003;Mittenberg, Azrin, Millsaps, & Heilbronner, 1993). Numerous investigators have explored the utility of the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT; Rey, 1964) for identifying suboptimal effort (e.g., Bernard, 1991;Bernard, Houston, & Natoli, 1993;Binder, Villaneuva, Howieson, & Moore, 1993;King, Gfeller, & Davis, 1998;Suhr, 2002;Sullivan, Deffenti, & Keane, 2002). For example, King et al (1998) investigated the validity of several markers of malingering based on component scores on the RAVLT, e.g., the total number of words recalled after a delay and the total number of intrusion errors during recognition testing.…”

This investigation explored the usefulness of serial position patterns during word recall on the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT; Rey, 1964) as an indicator of poor effort. Significantly better recall for early (primacy) and recent (recency) material defines the serial position effect (SPE; Rundus, 1971). The SPE on the RAVLT was examined in four groups: normal controls (NC), symptom-coached simulators (SC), test-coached simulators (TC), and a group of moderate to severe subacute traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients. Normal control participants and TBI patients demonstrated the expected SPE. Only the SC simulators clearly suppressed the primacy effect. The SPE appears neither sensitive nor specific enough to be used independently of more sensitive symptom validity tests in the detection of suboptimal effort. It may be especially problematic when used with clients presenting with sophisticated styles of exaggeration and in settings with lower base rates of compromised effort.

“…Visuo-spatial and construction skills may be compromised by brain injury and TBI patients often have difficulty understanding the spatial relationship between component parts or suffer a spatial neglect (Bigler, Rosa, Schultz, Hall, & Harris, 1989). Motor, memory and executive components are intermixed in construction tasks as, the Rey-Osterrieth Complex Figure Test, making it difficult to differentiate the primary deficit(s).…”

Much has been gained in our understanding of the psychopathology, assessment, and treatment of TBI. Still lacking is the breadth and depth that an integrative and multi-disciplinary approach to TBI portends. While there is a greater awareness of a need for such a systems-based approach as evidenced by the number of professional organizations and government agencies recently advocating a need for standardization in the collection data in TBI, the application of multi-dimensional approach, and the development novel strategies to deliver prevention, assessment and treatment to large, diverse populations, we are still in the early stages in making this important shift. In the nearer term, there are clinical assessment and interventional programs that can be developed and empirically validated to bring us closer to this integrative, multi-disciplinary ideal. The following review calls for a universal diagnostic classification system for TBI, integration of pathophysiology and pharmacological and rehabilitative therapies, development of treatments addressing disorders comorbid with TBI, and the delivery of assessment and treatment services to large underserved populations.

“…In addition, different degenerative diseases lead to different outcome patterns on the RAVLT. For example, patients with early Alzheimer dementia recall only a few words in trial one and slightly increase word recall over the other acquisition trials (Bigler, Rosa, Schultz, Hall, & Harris, 1989). They also show poor performance after a delay that includes distraction (Ferman et al, 2006).…”

Objective: Traditional word learning tasks have been criticised for being affected by ceiling effects. The Consonant Vowel Consonant (CVC) test is a non-word verbal learning task designed to be more difficult and therefore have a lower risk of ceiling effects.Method: The current study examines the psychometric properties of the CVC in 404 middle-aged persons and evaluates it as a screening instrument for mild cognitive impairment by comparing it to the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA). Differences between currently depressed and non-depressed participants were also examined.Results: CVC characteristics are similar to traditional verbal memory tasks but with reduced likelihood of a ceiling effect. Using the standard cut-off on the MoCA as an indication of mild cognitive impairment, the CVC performed only moderately well in predicting this. Depressed participants scored significantly lower on the CVC compared with non-depressed individuals.Conclusions: The CVC may be similar in psychometric properties to the traditional word learning tests but with a higher ceiling. Scores are lower in depression.
