Psychological Testing and Assessment Memory Processes and Influences Cognitive Functions and Memory

Abstract

The extant literature has consistently outlined a limited relationship between peoples' subjective reports of defective memory and their corresponding performances on objective measures of memory functioning. Several variables have been proposed to explain this finding, but few studies have investigated test-taker effort as a variable of interest. The primary aim of the current study was to examine reported memory problems as a function of symptom validity test (SVT) performances in two independent samples comprising individuals involved in disability claims. The findings demonstrated that as various SVT performances worsened there was a corresponding increase in subjective reports of memory complaints as assessed by the Memory Complaints Inventory. Data also supported the previous literature demonstrating non-significant correlations between subjective reports of memory problems and objective memory functioning in those who passed SVTs. The potential implications for these findings are discussed.
