Abstract:
Objective:To study the validity of Binomial Forced-Choice Digit Memory Test(BFDMT) in detecting dissimulation of intellectual deficit.Methods:64 subjects with compensable head injury were assessed by BFDMT,experiential judgment and Raven's Standard Progressive Matrices (RSPM),and were finally diagnosed on intellectual deficit degrees.Results:(1)The rate of malingering was 78.1% judged by BFDMT,and 43.8% by experiential judgment.(2)All of the 16 uncertain cases by experiential judgment were assessed as malingering by BFDMT.(3)Only one case in 64 was considered as a faulted diagnosis by follow-up.Conclusion:BFDMT is useful for detecting dissimulation of intellectual deficit particularly for the difficul cases in clinical experiential judgment.
