The current study aimed to validate the utility of previously established validity indicators derived from MOXO-d-CPT's continuous performance test.
Healthy simulators feigned impairment after searching online for relevant information, an ecologically valid coaching condition ( = 39). They were compared to ADHD patients ( = 36) and healthy controls ( = 38).
Simulators performed significantly worse than ADHD patients in all MOXO-d-CPT indices, as well as a scale that integrates their contributions (feigned ADHD scale). Three indices (attention, hyperactivity, and impulsivity) and the latter scale exhibited adequate discriminative capacity. Higher education was associated with an exaggerated impairment among simulators, easing their detection.
Similarity between the current study and a previous study which examned the utlity of the MOXO-d-CPT validity indicators, increases our confidence in the efficacy of the latters embedded validity indicators. Though the findings provide initial validation of these validity indicators, generalizing beyond highly functioning participants necessitates further research.
本研究旨在验证先前从 MOXO-d-CPT 连续性能测试中得出的有效性指标的有效性。
健康模拟者在网上搜索相关信息后假装受损，这是一种生态有效的辅导条件（=39）。他们与 ADHD 患者（=36）和健康对照组（=38）进行了比较。
模拟者在 MOXO-d-CPT 的所有指标以及整合他们贡献的量表（假装 ADHD 量表）上的表现明显比 ADHD 患者差。三个指标（注意力、多动和冲动）和后者的量表表现出足够的区分能力。较高的教育水平与模拟者的夸大损伤有关，这使得他们更容易被发现。
本研究与之前研究 MOXO-d-CPT 有效性指标的研究相似，这增加了我们对后者嵌入式有效性指标的有效性的信心。虽然这些有效性指标提供了初步验证，但要推广到功能较高的参与者之外，还需要进一步的研究。
