Appl Neuropsychol Adult
November 2024
University at Albany, State University of New York.
Article Synopsis
- This study assessed the effectiveness of the TOMM 2 test among Spanish-speaking adults in Spain, involving 203 cognitively healthy participants.
- All participants scored within the acceptable range when using the original TOMM cutoff scores, with only one individual potentially misclassified as having invalid performance under a lower threshold.
- Results showed that Spanish adults performed better on Trial 1 than their English-speaking counterparts, indicating that the TOMM 2 maintains a high level of performance validity and specificity for this demographic.
Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the phenomenon of stigmata, specifically focusing on the case of Blessed Elena Aiello, who experienced severe hematidrosis, or blood sweating, from 1923 until her death.
- Stigmata are marks associated with Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, believed by some to be divinely impressed on individuals, and Aiello's symptoms reportedly occurred during Lent, particularly on Good Friday.
- A medical study conducted by doctors suggested the origins of her sores were unclear, leading to discussions about the potential for simulation or psychological factors such as autosuggestion.

Article Synopsis
- The Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) is a performance validity measure available in both English and Spanish, but the Spanish version previously lacked reliable data for U.S. Hispanic individuals.
- The study aimed to collect normative data for the updated TOMM 2 specifically for Hispanic individuals in the U.S., involving 188 cognitively healthy adults.
- Results showed that the Hispanic sample scored better on the TOMM 2 compared to the English-speaking normative sample, establishing the first culturally appropriate norms for Spanish speakers in the U.S.

Competent forensic practice has required continued training and professional practice in differentiating between genuine and malingered presentations, especially within the spectrum of psychotic disorders. Historically, practitioners valued racial, ethnic, and cultural differences but often considered them as peripheral matters. In contemporary forensic practice, however, language and culture play preponderant roles.
