“…The reliable digit span (RDS, e.g., Babikan et al (2006)) and the standard deviation of simple reaction time (SDRT, Bodenburg, 2014;Czornik et al, 2021;Stevens et al, 2016) were used as embedded PVT. In relation to ADHD, the RDS demonstrated its strong capacity, as found in other studies, to distinguish between pre-instructed simulators and a control group (Rogers, Velsor, Donnelly 2nd & Dean, 2021). The RDS was classified as invalid if equal to or lower than 7.…”

Self-report questionnaires are in widespread use in the assessment of adults with suspected attention-deficit and hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Notwithstanding the high degree of validity, these questionnaires are considered to possess, their stand-alone use in assessment for adult ADHD may result in false-positive diagnoses due to the risk of negative response bias. Most of the self-report questionnaires in typical use are based on the diagnostic systems DSM-5 or ICD-10. From a neuropsychological point of view, however, testing of various executive function abilities and attentional performance is important in the assessment of adult ADHD. The present study (N = 211) found no evidence linking executive function (working memory and inhibitory processes) and attentional performance (processing speed) to the results of a self-report questionnaire, the ADHS-LE. The number of failures on the three symptom or performance validity tests (SVT/PVT) used provided the sole, and significant, explanation for the response behavior reported on the ADHS-LE. Of these three SVT/PVTs (the German version of the Structured Inventory of Malingered Symptomatology, SIMS, the reliable digit span, and the standard deviation of simple reaction time), only the SIMS was found to be a significant predictor variable. In the clinical context of this study, 32.6% of subjects produced at least one invalid SVT/PVT result. The use of a more conservative criterion—failure on at least two of the three SVT/PVTs deemed to be feigning ADHD—reduced the proportion of participants generating invalid values to 5%.

To analyze the application value of artificial intelligence model based on Visual Geometry Group- (VGG-) 16 combined with quantitative electroencephalography (QEEG) in cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) with cognitive impairment, 72 patients with CSVD complicated by cognitive impairment were selected as the research subjects. As per Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (5th Edition), they were divided into the vascular dementia (VD) group of 34 cases and vascular cognitive impairment with no dementia (VCIND) group of 38 cases. The two groups were analyzed for the clinical information, neuropsychological test results, and monitoring results of QEEG based on intelligent algorithms for more than 2 hours. The accuracy rate of VGG was 84.27% and Kappa value was 0.7, while that of modified VGG (nVGG) was 88.76% and Kappa value was 0.78. The improved VGG algorithm obviously had higher accuracy. The test results found that the QEEG identified 8 normal, 19 mild, 10 moderate, and 0 severe cases in the VCIND group, while in the VD group, the corresponding numbers were 4, 13, 11, and 7; in the VCIND group, 7 cases had the normal QEEG, 11 cases had background changes, 9 cases had abnormal waves, and 11 cases had in both background changes and abnormal waves, and in the VD group, the corresponding numbers were 5, 2, 5, and 22, respectively; in the VCIND group, QEEG of 18 patients had no abnormal waves, QEEG of 11 patients had a few abnormal waves, and QEEG of 9 patients had many abnormal waves, and QEEG of 0 people had a large number of abnormal waves, and in the VD group, the corresponding numbers were 7, 6, 12, and 9. The above data were statistically different between the two groups ( P < 0.05 ). Hence, QEEG based on intelligent algorithms can make a good assessment of CSVD with cognitive impairment, which had good clinical application value.
