Date & Time: Thursday, October 10, 6.00pm – 7.30pm
Title: The Morel Emotional Numbing Test: A Groundbreaking Performance Validity Tool for Ensuring the Accuracy of PTSD Assessments
Presenter: Kenneth Morel
Description: This workshop explores how neuroscience and statistical analysis can be combined to accurately assess response validity, with a focus on minimizing error variance. It also covers topics such as scoring, applications in clinical and forensic settings, and effective strategies for handling challenges from lawyers during depositions.
Date & Time: Friday, October 11, 6.00pm – 7.30pm
Title: Assessment of Negative Response Distortion with the Personality Assessment Inventory (PAI)
Presenter: John E. Kurtz
Description:This workshop describes the various scales and index scores used to assess negative response distortion with the PAI. A configural analysis of multiple indicators is proposed to discriminate between exaggerated responding and deliberate falsification of symptoms. The added value of newer indicators from the PAI-plus update will also be addressed. Research findings and case studies will be presented to demonstrate the utility of these measures for clinical and forensic settings.
Date & Time: Saturday, October 12, 8.45am – 10.15am
Title: Multivariate Models of Performance and Symptom Validity Tests: Conceptual and Practical Considerations
Presenter: Laszlo Erdodi
Description: This workshop explores interpreting cumulative PVT failures in neuropsychological profiles. Participants will learn about selecting optimal cutoffs for individual PVTs and using multivariate models to interpret failures from multiple PVTs. It also discusses controversies related to using multiple PVTs to assess cognitive deficits and the appropriateness of generalizing multivariate models developed for PVTs to SVTs.
Date & Time: Saturday, October 12, 10.15am – 11.45am
Title: Assessing Symptom and Performance Validity with the Inventory of Problems – 29 (IOP-29) and its Memory Module (IOP-M)
Presenter: Luciano Giromini
Description: This workshop presents the Inventory of Problems – 29 (IOP-29) and its memory module (IOP-M), a highly cost-effective solution for rapidly assessing both symptom and performance validity. Participants will learn about key research findings emerging from the more than 30 published IOP articles and gain insights into administration and interpretation guidelines.
Date & Time: Saturday, October 12, 11.45am – 1.15pm
Title: The Self-Report Symptom Inventory (SRSI): Five Years After its Publication
Presenter: Thomas Merten
Description: This workshop gives an introduction into the development of the SRSI, a symptom validity test, which is currently available in eleven languages and was used in several dozens of studies. A main topic will be the proper administration of the questionnaire and the correct interpretation of its results.
