Abstract
Recent research suggests that effort detection measures based on patterns of neuropsychological performance may be more robust to coaching than traditional effort detection measures. In the present study, we evaluated the Exaggeration Index for an extended version of the Auditory Verbal Learning Test (EI-AVLTX), a recently developed effort detection instrument based on patterns of performance on the AVLT using a simulated malingering paradigm. In two independent samples, the EI-AVLTX was1 found to be relatively sensitive and specific to malingering, and robust to the effects of a warning about malingering detection.
