Analyzing the relationship between processing speed impairment and Rey-15 item test performance.
J Clin Exp Neuropsychol
October 2024
Department of Psychiatry, University of Illinois College of Medicine, Chicago, IL, USA.
Article Synopsis
- - This study explored how the severity of processing speed impairment affects performance on the Rey 15-Item Test (RFIT) and its recognition variant, revealing that those with intact processing speed scored better than those with reduced or impaired speeds.
- - Data from 285 neuropsychological assessments were analyzed, using various standardized tests to measure processing speed and other cognitive functions, with results showing significant predictive power from both verbal/visual memory and processing speed.
- - While the RFIT tests showed good classification accuracy for individuals with intact processing speed, their effectiveness dropped significantly for those with impaired speeds, indicating that the RFIT may not be suitable for evaluating individuals with greater processing speed deficits.
Detecting malingered neurocognitive dysfunction: Comparative analysis of freestanding and embedded performance validity tests.
Appl Neuropsychol Adult
September 2024
Cognitive Psychology and Neuropsychology Department, University of Mons, Mons, Belgium.
Article Synopsis
- Detecting malingered neurocognitive dysfunction is crucial in legal and insurance contexts after traumatic brain injuries (TBI), as it can influence assessments of cognitive impairment.
- The study compared the effectiveness of various performance validity tests (PVTs), including both freestanding and embedded tests, using a sample of 120 participants with different backgrounds.
- Results showed that certain tests, specifically the Amsterdam Short-Term Memory Test and the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test, were most effective at identifying malingering, highlighting the need for integrating PVTs into clinical evaluations for better accuracy.
Distinguishing Between Genuine and Feigned Dementia Using Event-related Potentials.
Cogn Behav Neurol
September 2022
Center for Translational Cognitive Neuroscience, Veterans Affairs Boston Healthcare System, Boston, Massachusetts.
Background: Individuals with probable Alzheimer disease (AD) may perform below cutoffs on traditional, memory-based performance validity tests. Previous studies have found success using event-related potentials (ERPs) to detect feigned neurocognitive impairment in younger populations.
Objective: To evaluate the utility of an auditory oddball task in conjunction with the P3b peak amplitude to distinguish probable AD from simulated dementia.
Predicting speech discrimination scores from pure-tone thresholds-A machine learning-based approach using data from 12,697 subjects.
PLoS One
January 2022
School of Integrated Technology, College of Engineering, Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea.
Diagnostic tests for hearing impairment not only determines the presence (or absence) of hearing loss, but also evaluates its degree and type, and provides physicians with essential data for future treatment and rehabilitation. Therefore, accurately measuring hearing loss conditions is very important for proper patient understanding and treatment. In current-day practice, to quantify the level of hearing loss, physicians exploit specialized test scores such as the pure-tone audiometry (PTA) thresholds and speech discrimination scores (SDS) as quantitative metrics in examining a patient's auditory function.
