Forced-choice (FC) recognition memory is a common performance validity assessment methodology. This study introduces and evaluates the classification accuracy of a FC recognition trial for the Rey Auditory Verbal Learning Test (RAVLT).
The present sample of 122 military veterans (Mean age = 35.4, SD = 9.3) were all administered the RAVLT along with the FC procedure as part of a full neuropsychological protocol. Veterans were assigned to valid (n = 94) or invalid (n = 28) groups based on outcomes of performance validity measures.
The FC procedure was found to have strong sensitivity (67.9%) and specificity (92.6%) in predicting validity group status based on a cutoff score of ≤ 13. The FC trial outperformed RAVLT recognition hits (sensitivity = 46.4%, specificity = 91.5%) as a predictor of invalid performance.
The RAVLT FC is demonstrated to be an effective measure of performance validity and is recommended for use as an adjunctive trial for the RAVLT.
强制选择（FC）识别记忆是一种常见的效绩效度评估方法。本研究介绍并评估了用于雷伊听觉词语学习测验（RAVLT）的FC识别试验的分类准确性。
122名退伍军人（平均年龄=35.4，标准差=9.3）的当前样本均接受了RAVLT以及FC程序，作为完整神经心理学方案的一部分。根据效绩效度测量结果，退伍军人被分为有效组（n=94）或无效组（n=28）。
基于≤13的临界分数，发现FC程序在预测效度组状态方面具有较高的敏感性（67.9%）和特异性（92.6%）。作为无效表现的预测指标，FC试验的表现优于RAVLT识别命中（敏感性=46.4%，特异性=91.5%）。
RAVLT FC被证明是一种有效的效绩效度测量方法，建议用作RAVLT的辅助试验。
