On page 487 of the Archives of Clinical Neuropsychology conference abstracts (vol 24, issue 5, August, 2009), there is a study of the relative sensitivity and specificity of embedded effort measures versus stand alone SVTs like the TOMM, Rey-15, VSVT and WMT. The authors are Miele, Lynch and McCaffrey (2009).
Conclusion: In litigating patients, the data on embedded symptom validity indices do not support their use at the exclusion of free standing SVTs.

Conclusion: This independent study shows that the WMT is more sensitive to poor effort than the TOMM in people asked to simulate impairment.
