TL;DR: Tests of recognition memory using digits, pictorial stimuli or verbal stimuli, all of which are objectively extremely easy tasks, resulted in widely different failure rates, suggesting that, while these tests may be highly specific, they vary substantially in their sensitivity to response bias.

TL;DR: Study results suggest that the Response Bias Scale may be a useful addition to existing MMPI-2 validity scales and indices in detecting symptom complaints predominantly associated with cognitive response bias and overreporting in forensic neuropsychological and disability assessment settings.

TL;DR: This study illustrates the importance of assessing for exaggeration of cognitive symptoms and biased responding in patients with FM presenting for disability related evaluations.

TL;DR: The incremental validity of MMPI-2-RF over-reporting validity scales and RBS in assessing memory complaints is examined, consistent with the development objectives of the M MPI- 2-RF validity scales as more efficient and sensitive measures of symptom over- reporting.

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that the RBS can add uniquely to the existing MMPi-2 and MMPI-2-RF validity scales in detecting symptom exaggeration associated with cognitive response bias.
