Rey (1964) devised a simple 15-item (3-columns × 5 rows) visual memory test to detect faking or exaggeration of memory complaints. To gather normative observations on patients with genuine memmory disorders, the authors administered this test to 100 temporal lobe epilepsy inpatients (TLEs) who showed defective performance on at least 1 of 4 standardized memory tests. To determine whether outpatients with neurological disorders (OPs) would produce a distribution of scores similar to those of TLEs, Rey's 3×5 was administered to 56 OPs who has been referred for neuropsychological evaluation. Sixteen OPs in litigation were excluded from the outpatient sample because motivation for optimal performance could not be assumed
