Larry L. Hatcher (SVSU), Kristen M. Harris (SVSU alumna, Nova Southeastern University), and Andrew Swihart (SVSU). "Inability of the Rarely Missed Index to Identify Simulated Malingering Under More Realistic Assessment Conditions." Journal of Clinical and Experimental Neuropsychology 30.1 (2008): 120-126.
Two studies were conducted to assess the ability of the Rarely Missed Index (RMI) of the Wechsler Memory Scale-III to detect malingering. Subjects included undergraduate students, analog malingerers, and actual patients. Analysis of the data failed to reveal the item-response biases that had been reported in previous research. Analyses also failed to show that the RMI can be used to identify simulated malingerers.
