ABSTRACT

The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate performance on the Memory Validity Profile (MVP) in a mixed pediatric clinical population. Goal 1, assessing MVP pass rates, yielded a slightly higher pass rate (98.58%) compared to research on other performance validity tests (PVTs) in youth when using manual-based cutoffs and a slightly lower pass rate (84.40%) using an experimental cutoffs (PASS Total ≥31) similar to others’ research. Goal 2, determining if MVP performance was contingent on variables other than effort, yielded significant differences in age, sex, and intelligence (p < 0.05); but not parental education or occurrence/nonoccurrence of previous neurological issues, ADHD, or psychiatric disorders. Goal 3, investigating the agreement of an embedded PVT (Children and Adolescent Memory Profile [ChAMP] List Recognition [LR] subtest) with the MVP in classification of adequate vs. suboptimal effort, showed that the highest levels of consistency (81%) were achieved when experimental MVP and LR ss ≤5 cutoffs were utilized. In conclusion, the MVP is a useful tool in detecting suboptimal effort in children in a broad clinical sample and the ChAMP LR subtest adds to identification of suboptimal effort as an ePVT with the MVP. The established cutoffs stated in the MVP manual should be used, as these better identify suboptimal effort in children by age than experimental cutoffs (i.e., 31 and 32 PASS). The ChAMP LR cutoff should be ss ≤5, with MVP manual-based (75%) or experimental cutoffs (81%).

摘要

这项研究的主要目的是评估在混合儿科临床人群中对记忆有效性概况（MVP）的表现。目标1（评估MVP通过率）与使用人工截止值的青年进行其他性能效度测试（PVT）的研究相比，通过率略高（98.58％），而通过实验进行的通过率略低（84.40％）临界值（PASS Total≥31）与其他人的研究相似。目标2决定了MVP的表现是否取决于努力以外的变量，从而在年龄，性别和智力上产生了显着差异（p <0.05）；但不接受父母教育或以前的神经系统问题，注意力缺陷多动障碍或精神疾病的发生/未发生。目标3，调查嵌入式PVT的协议（MVP对儿童和青少年的记忆力[ChAMP]列表识别[LR]子测试在对最佳努力与次最佳努力的分类中显示，当实验性MVP和LR ss≤5时，达到最高一致性（81％）利用。总之，MVP是检测广泛临床样本中儿童次佳努力的有用工具，而ChAMP LR子测试增加了将次佳努力识别为MVP的ePVT。应使用MVP手册中规定的既定临界值，因为与实验临界值（即31和32 PASS）相比，这些方法可以更好地识别各年龄段儿童的次优努力。ChAMP LR截止值应为ss≤5，MVP手动截止值（75％）或实验截止值（81％）。
