The assessment of performance validity has become standard practice in forensic and neuropsychological evaluations in both adult and pediatric populations (Brooks, Ploetz, & Kirkwood, 2016; Heilbronner et al., 2009; Holcomb, 2018; Martin, Schroeder, & Odland, 2015). The forced-choice task on the CVLT-II and CVLT3 was developed as an embedded measure of performance validity. In addition, Lichtenstein, Holcomb, and Erdodi (2018) presented data on a forced-choice measure developed for use with the CVLT-C. Several other scores across all three instruments have also demonstrated worth as indicators of performance validity, including recognition discriminability, Trials 1–5 Correct, Long-Delay Cued Recall, and Yes/No Recognition Hits (Bauer, Yantz, Ryan, Warden, & McCaffrey, 2005; Brooks & Ploetz, 2015; Shura, Miskey, Rowland, Yoash-Gantz, & Denning, 2016; Whiteside et al., 2015). It is important to note that low scores on these measures alone do not indicate invalid performance but suggest the possibility of symptom exaggeration or other factors that could influence performance.
