Abstract
Normal subjects were tested twice on Rey's Auditory-Verbal Learning Test (AVLT), using a different version of the test each time. For one version subjects performed normally, for the other they attempted to simulate a mild to moderate memory impairment. The pattern of scores in the two conditions showed that malingering subjects differed from a typical genuine amnesic performance in three respects: they showed a primacy effect in free recall, they over-performed on the delayed recall trial and they underperformed on the recognition task. These features of Rey's AVLT give it a good potential to help distinguish between genuine and faked amnesia in naive subjects.
