Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
SAM performance values, e.g. hits, correct rejection, false positives, false rejections, reaction time, sensitivity, response bias. SAM is a computer-based test, embedded in the Hogrefe test system, for validating malingering in the context of psychological and medical assessment, with the aid of reaction times and response behavior. One assessment point.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Neuropsychological test data
