Determining whether false positive rates increase with performance validity test battery expansion

Monte Carlo simulations significantly overestimated rates of individuals failing two PVTs as PVT battery length doubled. IDT did not differ from PVT-Fail across variables with known PVT effects (e.g. age, referral context, neurologic diagnoses), lowering concern that this group is comprised entirely of false-positive PVT classifications. More research is needed to determine the effect of PVT battery length on validity classification accuracy.
