Description: "Detection of Response Bias in Forensic Neuropsychology examines strategies and procedures for determining a patient's level of cooperation and motivation during neuropsychological testing. The book identifies willful and non-willful factors that can alter a patient's behavior during testing to the point of affecting the test's accuracy and rendering the patient's responses invalid. Developers and researchers present unique insights into each strategy's utility in clinical practice and each procedure's performance in light of analysis factors as defined by the United States Supreme Court."--Jacket.
