Hopkins Verbal Learning Test – revised process variables as embedded measures of performance validity

Key Points

To evaluate the effectiveness of HVLT-R process variables as measures of performance validity in neuropsychological testing.
Analyzed HVLT-R process variables as predictors of performance validity.
Assessed scores using psychometrically operationalized criteria.
Investigated the association with implausibly low neuropsychological test scores.
HVLT-R process variables significantly predicted invalid performance.
Association found with non-credible scores across various tests.
The findings suggest potential utility for HVLT-R variables as a new approach in performance validity testing.

Abstract

HVLT-R process variables were statistically and clinically significant predictors of psychometrically operationalized invalid performance and were associated with implausibly low (non-credible) scores on a range of neuropsychological tests. The PRO-7 is a promising alternative approach to traditional PVTs based on the method of threshold. Generalizability of the findings is constrained by the small sample size. Replications are needed to further examine the utility of HVLT-R process variables as PVTs.
