“…Alternatively, new circumstances may require abilities that are dependent on damaged brain regions that have failed to develop (Barth, Gideon, Sciara, Hulsey, & Anchor, 1986;Ylvisaker & Szekeres, 1998), thus exposing deficits that had previously not been evident.…”

“…Studies have documented the sensitivity of neuropsychological assessment to detect subtle abnormalities in brain function that may go undetected even by the most sophisticated medical/neurological techniques (Barth, Gideon, Sciara, Hulsey, & Anchor, 1986). Neuropsychological test batteries have been shown to be equivalent or superior to traditional neurodiagnostic techniques (including physical neurological examination, EEG, pneumoencephalography, angiogram, x-ray, and CAT scan) in detecting both the presence and general location of brain damage (Boll, 1978; Filskov & Goldstein, 1974; Tsushima & Wedding, 1979).…”

This article explores theoretical and empirical issues in the application of clinical neuropsychological evidence to forensic issues in the criminal law. The nature of forensic neuropsychological evaluations is discussed with reference to issues of competency to stand trial, criminal responsibility, and other competencies in the criminal process. Examples of specific disorders relevant to criminal law standards are presented, together with data estimating the prevalence of brain dysfunction in criminal and forensic populations. Research is also reviewed on the role of neuropsychological brain dysfunction in the etiology of violence and criminally relevant behavior. Finally, empirical and ethical issues concerning the applicability and admissibility of forensic neuropsychological data in the criminal context are discussed.

“…Although the neuropsychologist is “rapidly becoming an integral part of the physician-lawyer team” (Barth, Gideon, Sciara, Hulsey, & Anchor, 1986, p. 64), even less research has been conducted on clinicians' capacity to detect malingering on intellectual and neuropsychological tests. Bruhn and Reed (1975)and Goebel (1983)have reported accurate separation of simulated versus genuine dysfunction on the Bender-Gestalt Test and the Halstead-Reitan Neuropsychological Test Battery, respectively.…”

A direct test was performed of neuropsychologists' capacity to delect malingering. Children were instructed to 'Take bad" on comprehensive neuropsychological testing but were given minimal guidance on how to proceed. Of the 42 clinical neuropsychologists who reviewed cases, 93?b diagnosed abnormality, 87% of these 93% attributed the results to cortical dysfunction, and no clinician detected malingering. The results are consistent with other studies that have examined the capacity of adolescents and adults to fake believable deficits on neuropsychological testing. These studies, and consideration of our current knowledge and methods for the detection of malingering, suggest the need to qualify our confident statements about accurate detection. The current lack of a definitive means for determining whether identifications are correct in actual cases of malingering precludes the objective separation of valid from invalid clinical guidelines. Psychologists' increased involvement in third-party arrangements, particularly in the forensic area, has created a growing need to develop methods for detecting simulation.
