Classification accuracy of the word memory test genuine memory impairment index.

The GMIP is apt to misclassify individuals as having genuine memory impairment, especially if a naïve or unsophisticated effort is made to exert non-credible performance. Indeed, individuals who employ the least sophisticated efforts to exaggerate cognitive impairment appear most likely to manifest the GMIP. The GMIP should be used cautiously to discriminate genuine impairment from non-credible performance, especially among people with mild TBI.
