“…In the study conducted by Daugherty et al (2021), the sample was randomly assigned to either a feigning or control group, where participants in the feigning group were asked to simulate a brain injury. Similar procedures were evident in the study conducted by Daugherty et al (2022) that examined embedded PVT measures in Spanish-speaking individuals.…”

“…Despite reporting a low failure rate for the letter fluency test, a specificity of 86% was reported for the semantic fluency test when using a cutoff of <13 for invalid performance. In a separate study conducted by Daugherty et al (2022) using an receiver operating characteristic analysis, Spanish administration of the letter and semantic fluency tests were evaluated in a sample of 114 healthy adults who were recruited from a local university in Spain. It was found that, when compared to a selected cutoff of ≤27 for letter fluency (specificity: 90.2% and sensitivity: 58.5%), a reduction to a more conservative cutoff of ≤18 resulted in a specificity of 100% and a sensitivity of 20.8% for this sample.…”

Objective: The use of performance validity tests (PVTs) to assess suboptimal performance has become a recommended feature in neuropsychological evaluations. However, most of the literature has examined the utility of PVTs in primarily non-Hispanic White, monolingual English-speaking samples. Given the continual growth of culturally and linguistically diverse populations, especially Hispanic/Latin Americans (H/Ls), it is necessary to provide an updated review of the available literature involving the use of PVTs in H/L adults. Method: We conducted a systematic review that examined the available literature surrounding the use of performance validity measures in H/L adults. This review identified evidence for the utility of PVTs in assessing invalid performance in H/Ls and compiled psychometric properties related to these measures, specifically rates of specificity and sensitivity when available. Results: We identified six standalone and four embedded performance validity measures that have been examined in H/Ls. The Test of Memory Malingering was identified as the PVT most studied in various H/L heritage groups. Across the studies reviewed, adjustments to cutoff scores are generally recommended for the majority of PVTs discussed. Within H/Ls, specificity rates tend to be bolstered when sociocultural factors, like education, are considered. Conclusions: Recommended cutoff scores across the different PVTs reviewed are not typically suitable for use in heritage groups of H/L adults, especially in groups that include adults with lower levels of education and literacy. Therefore, education may need to be considered when applying cutoffs to these populations.

“…There is a clear continuity of the panorama described for Spain in , both in the current lines of research and in the adaptation and creation of instruments, as well as in the most relevant challenges that remain. Research is ongoing in the fields of forensics (e.g., Fariña et al, 2014), neuropsychology (e.g., Daugherty et al, 2020), medicolegal (e.g., Capilla Ramírez et al, 2014, and military (e.g., García Silgo, 2019). The most prevalent field both in terms of research and application is forensic assessment, in particular the assessment of sequelae of psychological injuries subsequent to traumatic events (like gender-based violence, Marín-Torices et al, 2018, or of traffic accidents, Puente-López et al, 2021).…”

Symptom and Performance Validity Assessment in European Countries: an Update

In 2013, a special issue of the Spanish journal Clínica y Salud published a review on symptom and performance validity assessment in European countries (Merten et al. in Clínica y Salud, 24(3), 129-138, 2013). At that time, developments were judged to be in their infancy in many countries, with major publication activities stemming from only four countries: Spain, The Netherlands, Great Britain, and Germany. As an introduction to a special issue of Psychological Injury and Law, this is an updated report of developments during the last 10 years. In that period of time, research activities have reached a level where it is difficult to follow all developments; some validity measures were newly developed, others were adapted for European languages, and validity assessment has found a much stronger place in real-world evaluation contexts. Next to an update from the four nations mentioned above, reports are now given from Austria, Italy, and Switzerland, too.

“…Research on the generalizability of performance validity tests (PVTs) to non-native speakers of English has intensified in recent years (Ali et al, 2023, 2022; An et al, 2017; Bell-Sprinkel et al, 2013; Crişan & Erdodi, 2022; Daugherty et al, 2022; L.

Objective: The present study investigated classification accuracies of the IOP-29-M as a validity measure in a Romanian sample and examined differences between language versions. Method: Ninety-five undergraduates (65 controls and 30 experimental malingerers were administered the Inventory of Problems–29 (IOP-29) and the IOP-M, in English and Romanian, as part of a neurocognitive test battery. IOP-29 False Disorder Score and IOP-M accuracy scores in English and Romanian were compared, and classification accuracies against the experimental malingering criterion were computed. Results: Both indicators differentiated between groups and produced excellent area under the curves (.86–.96) in classifying experimental malingerers. At previously published cutoffs, the Romanian version of the IOP-29 proved more accurate than the English version. The IOP-M yielded virtually identical accuracies for both versions at a standard cutoff of ≤30. Conclusions: The IOP-29-M accurately discriminates valid from invalid protocols in Romanian bilingual undergraduates. The administration language could influence cutoff accuracies of the IOP-29. The IOP-M appears robust to language effects.
