Abstract

In this chapter we will apply profile analysis to data from the Word Memory Test (WMT, Green, 2005 Green, Allen, & Astner, 1996; Green & Astner, 1995), the Medical Symptom Validity Test (MSVT, Green, 2004), and the Nonverbal Medical Symptom Validity Test (NV-MSVT, Green, 2008) in several hundred developmentally disabled children tested consecutively under clinical conditions. We will then compare the results from these impaired children with results on the same tests from adults with mild traumatic brain injury (TBI), who were involved in compensation or disability claims. Before we describe the study, however, it is important to contrast the current method with the main alternative approach to the validation of symptom validity tests (SVTs) and to summarize what has been learned to date.
