The ability of both the non-credible score of the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT NC) and the recognition score of the RAVLT (RAVLT Recog) to predict credible versus non-credible neuropsychological test performance was examined. Credible versus non-credible group membership was determined according to diagnostic criteria with consideration of performance on two stand-alone performance validity tests. Findings from this retrospective data analysis of outpatients seen for neuropsychological testing within a Veterans Affairs Medical Center (N = 175) showed that RAVLT Recog demonstrated better classification accuracy than RAVLT NC in predicting credible versus non-credible neuropsychological test performance. Specifically, an RAVLT Recog cutoff of ≤9 resulted in reasonable sensitivity (48%) and acceptable specificity (91%) in predicting non-credible neuropsychological test performance. Implications for clinical practice are discussed. Note: The views contained here within are those of the authors and not representative of the institutions with which they are associated.
本研究考察了雷伊听觉词语学习测验的不可信分数（RAVLT NC）和该测验的识别分数（RAVLT Recog）预测可信与不可信神经心理学测验表现的能力。根据诊断标准并考虑两项独立的效标效度测验的表现来确定可信组与不可信组。对一家退伍军人事务医疗中心接受神经心理学测验的门诊患者（N = 175）进行的这项回顾性数据分析结果显示，在预测可信与不可信神经心理学测验表现方面，RAVLT Recog的分类准确性优于RAVLT NC。具体而言，RAVLT Recog分数≤9时，在预测不可信神经心理学测验表现方面具有合理的敏感性（48%）和可接受的特异性（91%）。文中讨论了其对临床实践的意义。注意：本文观点仅代表作者个人，并不代表其所属机构。
