Standalone Performance Validity Tests May Be Differentially Related to Measures of Working Memory, Processing Speed, and Verbal Memory in Patients With Multiple Sclerosis

“…1 If the included participants were representative of a sample composed of clinically referred examinees with diverse neurodevelopmental, psychiatric, and neurocognitive disorders, it is reasonable to expect that at least subtle-to-mild decreases from normative performance may be detectable in aspects of working memory, processing speed, and/or verbal memory. Prior literature has described such differences from healthy controls in these domains in samples of participants with ADHD (Fuermaier et al, 2015; Poysophon & Rao, 2018; Theiling & Petermann, 2016), psychiatric conditions (Hermens et al, 2011; Moghadasin & Dibajnia, 2021), and mND (Economou et al, 2007; Greenaway et al, 2006; Lumpkin & Sheerin, 2019). As such, it is likely that the participants included by Resch, Soble, et al (2021) were more closely akin to a sample of cognitively intact/healthy participants (i.e., a normative sample) rather than a mixed clinical sample commensurate with typical neuropsychological practice, limiting the extent to which these results are generalizable to other clinically referred examinees.…”
