We evaluated the classification accuracy of two abbreviated versions of the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) in prediction of results on the full-length instrument in a sample of 126 children who were evaluated within 1-12 months after traumatic brain injury. Both a version based on administration of Trial 1 and a version based on administration of only the first 10 items of Trial 1 had acceptable specificity (i.e., > .90) and sensitivity (i.e., > .60) with regard to prediction of pass/fail results on the complete TOMM. Failure on the TOMM suppressed performance on measures of processing speed that were otherwise sensitive to severity of traumatic brain injury. We conclude that these abbreviated versions of the TOMM can be used in clinical practice with children with traumatic brain injury, at the discretion of the neuropsychologist.
我们评估了两种简短版记忆测验（TOMM）在预测 126 名创伤性脑损伤后 1-12 个月内接受评估的儿童完整测试结果中的分类准确性。基于第 1 次尝试的前 10 项仅进行测试的版本，以及基于第 1 次尝试的测试版本，这两个版本在预测完整 TOMM 的通过/失败结果方面具有可接受的特异性（即>.90）和敏感性（即>.60）。TOMM 的失败抑制了对创伤性脑损伤严重程度敏感的加工速度测量的表现。我们的结论是，这些简短版的 TOMM 可以由神经心理学家自行决定，在临床实践中用于创伤性脑损伤儿童。
