ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
The Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM) is a widely used performance validity measure that is available in both English and Spanish. The Spanish version, however, has historically lacked normative data from samples that are representative of the U.S. Hispanic/Spanish speaking population.OBJECTIVE:
The aim of the current study was to collect normative data on the update TOMM 2 for Hispanic individuals residing in the U.S.METHODS:
Normative data on the TOMM 2 was collected across 9 sites from different regions of the U.S. The total sample consisted of nâ=â188 cognitively healthy adults aged 18 and over with no current or prior history of neurological or psychiatric disorder. Descriptive analyses were performed on total raw scores.RESULTS:
Participants obtained a mean score of 48.15 (SDâ=â2.81) on trial 1 of the TOMM 2, 49.86 (SDâ=â0.487) on trial 2, and 49.84 (SDâ=â0.509) on the recognition trial. Scores are provided for traditional cutoff scores as well as some popular cutoffs reported in the literature. Item level analyses were conducted as well as evaluation of performance based on a variety of demographics.CONCLUSION:
When compared to the English-speaking normative sample used for the original TOMM, this sample demonstrated better performance on the TOMM 2 indicating better cultural appropriateness of the items. This is the first study conducted that provides culturally appropriate descriptive norms for use with Spanish speakers living in the U.S.
