Abstract
Two-alternative forced-choice procedures have been the most widely employed for detecting incomplete effort and exaggeration of cognitive impairment. However, it cannot be assumed that different symptom validity tests (SVTs) are of equal sensitivity. In this study, 519 claimants referred for disability or personal injury related assessments were administered three SVTs, one based on digit recognition (Computerized Assessment of Response Bias, CARB), one using pictorial stimuli (Test of Memory Malingering, TOMM) and one employing verbal recognition memory (Word Memory Test, WMT). More than twice as many people failed the WMT than TOMM. CARB failure rates were intermediate between those on the other two tests. Thus, tests of recognition memory using digits, pictorial stimuli or verbal stimuli, all of which are objectively extremely easy tasks, resulted in widely different failure rates. This suggests that, while these tests may be highly specific, they vary substantially in their sensitivity to response bias.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
