ABSTRACT

This study aimed to clarify the value of using different types of validity measures in pediatric neuropsychological evaluations. We examined the relationship between performance (PVT) and symptom (SVT) validity tests as well as demographic variables and results from a screening test of learning and memory (i.e. Child and Adolescent Memory Profile [ChAMP]) in a mixed pediatric sample (n = 103). There was minimal overlap between PVT and SVT failures. Regression analyses demonstrated that PVT results, parental education, and history of special education were statistically significant predictors of ChAMP results, whereas SVT results were not.

摘要

本研究旨在阐明在儿科神经心理学评估中使用不同类型有效性测量的价值。我们检查了混合儿科样本中的表现 (PVT) 和症状 (SVT) 有效性测试以及人口统计学变量和学习和记忆筛查测试结果（即儿童和青少年记忆概况 [ChAMP]）之间的关系 ( n  = 103). PVT 和 SVT 故障之间的重叠最小。回归分析表明，PVT 结果、父母教育和特殊教育史是 ChAMP 结果的统计显着预测因子，而 SVT 结果则不是。
