Further Evidence for Embedded Performance Validity Tests in Children within the Conners' Continuous Performance Test - Second Edition.

OBJECTIVE: To replicate previous research on Conners' Continuous Performance Test - Second Edition subscales as performance validity tests (PVTs) in children.

METHOD: Classification accuracy for the Omissions (OMI), Hit Reaction Time (HRT), and Perseverations (PER) subscales was computed for 414 children and adolescents.

RESULTS: Overall, OMI, HRT, and PER demonstrated good specificity but low and variable sensitivity across cutoffs.

CONCLUSIONS: Results suggest that OMI, HRT, and PER can function as embedded PVTs in mixed clinical samples of children, although their clinical utility is limited by their low sensitivity. Implications for the use of these PVTs in the context of attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder evaluations, medication-seeking patients, and sports concussion clinics are discussed.
