Failing more freestanding performance validity tests results in progressive artificial lowering of invalid neuropsychological test scores
Results support a dose-dependent relationship between freestanding PVT failures and neuropsychological test scores such that additional PVT failures resulted in progressively more pronounced artificial lowering of scores. Findings highlight the importance of considering the number of PVT failures along with binary valid/invalid classification in diagnostic contexts, especially in psychiatric populations, where higher rates of PVT failure are observed.
