Abstract
The current study sought to evaluate the sensitivity of the Word Memory Test, Medical Symptom Validity Test, and the Nonverbal Medical Symptom Validity Test (NV-MSVT) in a group of 50 well-educated individuals asked to simulate dementia. With use of the Genuine Memory Impairment Profile as operationalized by the Advanced Interpretation Program, sensitivities for single measures and the measures in combination ranged from 54% to 98% in the detection of suboptimal effort. Overall, the NV-MSVT appeared the most sensitive to feigned memory impairment in this sample.
