Performance Validity Testing in Baseline Concussion Assessment
… was to explore the utility of a stand-alone performance validity test (PVT) in detecting suboptimal effort using an analog simulation design. Simulators demonstrated significantly lower performance on measures of verbal memory, visual memory, visual motor speed, balance, symptom severity, …

Predicting sandbagging on sideline concussion tests using performance validity tests
… effort during their completion of a series of performance validity tests, cognitive measures, and sideline concussion tests. Results of logistic regression analyses indicated that the SAC and SCAT-5 could not differentiate between the two groups (p’s > .025). It is possible that the null …

Neuropsychological Performance Validity in New Zealand’s Accident Compensation Corporation Assessments of TBI
… symptom complaints and effort applied in test performance during neuropsychological assessment are not always genuine. Despite the recognised importance of validity in neuropsychological assessment, at present there are only two published papers on the assessment of performance validity (PV) in …

Electrical Brain Activity and The Examinee's Level of Effort During Performance Validity Tasks
<p>Many people who intend to obtain benefits from an assessment may resort to performing poorly on assessments. Previous literature has found that cognitive deficits and long-term symptomatic complaints are reported by individuals with mild Traumatic Brain Injuries. Limited studies have …

Latent Class Analysis of Malingering Classifications Using Performance and Symptom Validity Measures in a Civil Forensic Setting
… study examined the applicability of various validity measures and their ability to identify patterns of invalid responding (i.e., malingering) in an archival sample of civil forensic litigants. A latent clustering approach was used to create profiles comprised of the response patterns from …

Diversity shrinkage of pareto-optimal solutions in hiring practice: Simulation, shrinkage formula, and a regularization technique
… for minority applicants without changing the job performance outcome in personnel selection. The current dissertation investigates topics related to a key limitation of the technique—the possibility of shrinkage, especially diversity shrinkage, in the Pareto-optimal solutions. The dissertation …

Defining the Construct of Malingered PTSD in Civil Litigation: A Confirmatory Factor Analysis
… use of multiple methods, including both symptom-validity and performance-validity based tests. Supporting these recommendations, findings from neuropsychological research with compensation-seeking patients with neurocognitive conditions suggests the underlying structure of malingering consists of …

An Examination of the Relationship between Validity and Memory Measures in Retired NFL Players
… however, an important concern is the validity of the evaluations. This study examined the relationship between Performance Validity Tests (PVTs) and memory measures in a comprehensive standardized battery administered to retired NFL players, with the purpose of exploring how predictive …

Shape Optimization of Annular Combustors with an Open Source Parallelized Thermoacoustic Helmholtz Solver
… solver uses DOLFINx and UFL from FEniCSx. The performance, validity, stability and extensibility of the solver are demonstrated through several examples of thermoacoustic instability, from the one-dimensional Rijke tube to the three-dimensional MICCA combustor. The implementation of Bloch-type …

The Long-Term Cognitive and Psychological Effects of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury (mTBI)
… removal of any participant that failed 2 or more Performance Validity Tests, but showed a normal T-score mean and standard deviation. This may indicate that only a few participants are experiencing any long-term cognitive deficits; an increased sample size should be recruited for confirmation of …
