Summary: The conclusions and testimonies of neuropsychologists on malingering have a significant impact. Although research has improved our ability to identify both insufficient and sufficient effort, several factors such as misleading high accuracy rates may lead to inflated confidence in evaluating malingering. Leonhard’s work highlights methodological considerations and flaws that can create misimpressions about the effectiveness of malingering assessment. The article also discusses other complicating factors and the need for further research in this area.

Summary: This study evaluates the differences in executive function skills and attentional bias between juvenile offenders, juvenile victims, and juveniles who have not participated in the criminal justice system. The results show that juvenile offenders have higher impulsivity scores compared to juvenile victims and the control group. The control group has higher scores in other tests measuring executive functions, and they exhibit less attentional bias to negative stimuli compared to juvenile offenders and victims.

Summary: The aim of this study was to investigate the ability of patients with anorexia nervosa (AN) to question their initial impressions and integrate new information. The study found that AN patients were more likely to disconfirm their previous judgments compared to healthy individuals, particularly those with a binge-eating/purging subtype. Abstract thinking skills and cognitive flexibility were positively correlated with cognitive bias in both patients and controls. This research is important for understanding the complexity of AN.
