Description
• Typical evaluations of adult ADHD consist of behavior self-report rating scales, cognitive or intellectual functioning measures, and specific measures designed to measure attention.
• Boone (2009) suggested monitoring continuous effort is essential throughout psychological assessments.
• Yet, few studies have contributed to malingering literature on the ADHD population.
• Many studies have reported the adequate use of symptom validity tests, which assess effortful performance in ADHD evaluations (Jasinski et al., 2011; Sollman et al., 2010; Schneider et al., 2014).
• Because of the length of ADHD assessments, individuals are likely to become weary and tired, thus impacting their performance.
Goal of Study
• This study investigates the eye movement strategies used by a clinical ADHD population, non-ADHD subjects, and malingering simulators when playing a common simple visual search task
