Key Points

  • The aim is to evaluate the effectiveness of Object Recognition and ACE-III Digit Span tests as performance validity tests for cognitive screening in dementia.
  • Utilized known-group design for accurate test evaluation.
  • Employed confirmatory data analysis procedures to assess test validity.
  • Considered administration protocols for non-neuropsychologists during testing.
  • Identified Object Recognition and ACE-III Digit Span tests as candidate PVTs.
  • Results indicate positive performance for these tests in assessing cognitive function.
  • Further validation studies recommended before clinical implementation.

Abstract

The findings of this research demonstrate that the Object Recognition and ACE-III Digit Span tests are candidate PVTs to be incorporated into the ACE-III for cognitive screening assessments. However, research using a known-group design and confirmatory data analysis procedures are required before these tests can be recommended for clinical practice. Similarly, the administration of PVTs by non-neuropsychologists during cognitive screening will require careful consideration.
