Failure on effort tests usually implies insufficient effort to produce valid cognitive test scores. However, many people with very severe cognitive impairment, such as dementia patients, will produce failing scores on nearly all effort tests. In such patients, effort tests have low specificity. The Medical Symptom Validity Test (MSVT) and the nonverbal MSVT (NV-MSVT) were designed to address this problem. They produce profiles of scores across multiple subtests to facilitate discrimination between low scores from people trying to feign impairment and low scores attributable to severe impairment. To study the specificity of the MSVT and NV-MSVT in people with very severe memory impairment, we tested (a) 10 institutionalized patients with dem...
