The aim of a PVT is to indicate non-credible performance, which can aid the interpretation of psychological assessments. There are currently no validated PVTs for autism-related difficulties in adulthood. In Study 1, non-autistic university students (aged 18-46 years) were instructed to simulate that they were autistic during a psychological assessment (simulation condition; n = 26). These students made more errors on the MENT than those instructed to do their best (control condition; n = 26). In Study 2, we tested how well autistic adults performed on the MENT. We found that clinically diagnosed autistic adults and non-autistic adults (both n = 25; 27-57 years; IQ > 80) performed equally well on the MENT. Moreover, autistic adults made significantly fewer errors than the instructed simulators in Study 1. The MENT reached a specificity of ≥98% (identifying 100% of non-simulators as non-simulator in Study 1 and 98% in Study 2) and a sensitivity of 96% (identifying 96% of simulators as simulator). Together these findings provide the first empirical evidence for the validity of the MENT as a potential PVT for autism-related cognitive difficulties.","PeriodicalId":51308,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology-Adult","volume":" ","pages":"1698-1710"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139571863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The Suite test comprises a 360-degree VR environment designed as a furniture shop, in which participants must group specific sets of furniture items (ordered by different families of customers) by clicking on the furniture to be packed following instructions from a voice-over.Results: Core variables provided were grouped into immediate, short-term and long-term delayed recall. Cluster analyses established five age groups (12 years old, 13 to 26, 27 to 44, 45 to 58, and 59 to 85) with gender differentiated norms only deemed necessary for those transitioning from adolescence to adulthood (13 to 26) and from middle age to older adulthood (45 to 58). No statistically significant differences were found for additional gender × age normative groups, or for any group differentiated by educational level. A confirmatory factor analysis raised the existence of two differentiated factors, one associated to encoding processes (immediate memory trials) and the other to retrieval processes (both short term and long-term delayed recall trials grouping into the same factor). Additional results on the test reliability and internal consistency are presented.Conclusions: Suite Test can help explore memory deficits across the life span and differentiate between visual and verbal memory strategies. Further research is required to study the test sensitivity and specificity, as well as convergent validity studies with well-established memory assessment tools.","PeriodicalId":51308,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology-Adult","volume":" ","pages":"1711-1721"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139547106","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fifty-six healthy volunteers aged 18-25 years participated in this study. The participants' right- and left-hand 2D:4D ratios were measured; cognitive performance was assessed using the Stroop and Digit Span tests, and motor performance was assessed using the NHPT and MMDT. In the DT conditions, serial 3's and 7's subtraction tasks were administered along with motor tests. According to the results, a significant negative correlation was found between the left-hand 2D:4D ratio and Stroop A and B test times (p < 0.05). In the NHPT administered together with the serial 7's subtraction task, there was a significant negative correlation between the left hand 2D:4D ratio and completion time (r = -0.305; p < 0.05); In the MMDT, a significant negative correlation was found between the right-hand 2D:4D ratio and DTC (-0.280; p < 0.05). The DTC and RCR values obtained during the NHPT and MMDT differed significantly depending on the type of cognitive task (p < 0.05).

A sample of 170 participants was divided into two age groups (50-60 and 75+ years) and asked to produce as many verbs as possible within 60 seconds. Responses were analyzed for total production, temporal distribution, retrieval strategies (semantic, phonological, and alphabetic clustering and switching), and lexical characteristics (frequency and syllable length). Robust regression models revealed that older adults produced fewer verbs, particularly during the initial 30 seconds, and exhibited fewer phonological and alphabetic switches, indicating reduced cognitive flexibility. In contrast, semantic clustering patterns and lexical frequency measures did not differ significantly with age. Education was positively associated with total output, switching behavior, and lexical conventionality, suggesting that cognitive reserve contributes to fluency performance. These findings highlight both quantitative and qualitative age-related changes in lexical retrieval and support the moderating role of education on executive-linguistic functioning in late adulthood.","PeriodicalId":51308,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology-Adult","volume":" ","pages":"1-11"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145226223","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Next, we examine test construction, and provide a pertinent example of a recently developed PVT, the Inventory of Problems-Memory (IOP-M). In terms of recent empirical PVT research, we enumerate 15 themes that organize the field. There are five themes on foundations, five on extensions, and five on applications. They include: (a) for foundations: PVT validation, PVT fail base rate, PVT cut scores, creating new tests, and embedded PVTs; (b) for extensions, novel PVT approaches, advanced PVT technologies, remote PVTs, demographic research and limitations, and multivariate approaches; and (c) for other applications, clinical applications, students, psychological injuries, extreme conditions, and combinations with symptom validity tests (SVTs). The ongoing research on PVTs support their use in forensic neuropsychological assessment. In determining whether malingering or related attributions has taken place, the assessor needs to consider the full examinee profile; PVT data speak only to invalid response set.","PeriodicalId":51308,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology-Adult","volume":" ","pages":"1-14"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-10-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145214430","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aims to assess the diagnostic potential of the computational method in the Czech context for patients with MCI and compare the novel approach with the traditional qualitative analysis. We analyzed the number of switches (NOS) and mean cluster size (MCS) in the vegetable and animal categories. In the animal category, the traditional and computational approaches showed poor diagnostic value for MCS. For NOS, the traditional approach was poor, while the computational approach showed fair diagnostic value. In the vegetable category, MCS had poor diagnostic value in both methods. For NOS, both the traditional (AUC = 0.761) and computational (AUC = 0.708) approaches showed fair diagnostic value. No significant differences were observed between the computational and traditional approaches across the measured indexes. Despite limitations such as group imbalances and difficulties handling multi-word phrases, computational analysis appears to be a promising tool for MCI assessment in Czech.","PeriodicalId":51308,"journal":{"name":"Applied Neuropsychology-Adult","volume":" ","pages":"1-12"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145132361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In June 2024, CINAHL, CENTRAL, Embase, OvidMedline, and Web of Science were searched for English-language RCTs or quasi-experimental studies (1990-June 2024) involving interventions initiated during chemotherapy. Reviews, case reports, and non-human studies were excluded.Results: Five studies met inclusion criteria, highlighting limited research in this area. Findings suggest physical exercise, compensatory cognitive training, memantine, and probiotic supplements during chemotherapy are linked to positive cognitive outcomes in BCS.
