Performance Validity Testing in Children and Adolescents: The State of the Science & Considerations for Practice
Research on methodologies to identify performance invalidity in children has lagged behind that for adults. Even so, multiple performance validity tests have now been shown to be appropriate for use in younger populations. This workshop will review the empirically supported options and provide a rationale for including objective performance validity tests when putting together any school-age test battery. Data will be presented to demonstrate that noncredible effort occurs consistently in pediatric populations. Case examples will highlight some of the many reasons children display noncredible presentations. How practitioners can address noncredible effort once it is identified will also be discussed, including a model for delivering clinical feedback to parents and children.
After the webinar, participants will be able to:
- Describe studies that have investigated the base rate of noncredible effort in children presenting for neuropsychological exam.
- Discuss performance validity tests that have been studied empirically in pediatric samples.
- Apply strategies when invalid responding occurs.
Target Audience: Advanced trainees and providers conducting neuropsychological assessments with children and adolescents
