The goal of this study was to examine the effect of malingering of adult ADHD on performance patterns in a continuous performance test(CPT). And we explored effective indices were examined for detection of ADHD malingerer. We measured general performance and post-error behaviors based on the response time and accuracy while accomplishing a CPT. The CPT examined undergraduates with ADHD tendency and control, and simulated malingering groups. Specifically, the malingering groups were divided according to a general malingering group and an educated malingering group based on whether they had received education regarding ADHD. The two malingering groups were asked to perform following a scenario. In addition, the educated malingering group was provided with audio-visual information about the disorder. The main results were as follows: first, in the analysis between the ADHD tendencies and the controls, ADHD tendencies showed more commission errors than the controls. The normal controls showed a slower response time as a correct trial after error than the ADHD tendencies, and a slower response time during the recovery. Interestingly, ADHD tendencies showed shorter recovery time than normal controls. Second, in the analysis between the ADHD tendencies and the malingering groups, the malingering groups made more errors and large deviations of response time, and large deviations of performance were also observed in the post error performance. Third, in the analysis between the general malingering group and educated malingering group, the educated malingering group showed more omission errors, large deviation of response time, and more re-error during the recovery than the general malingering group. as well as a reasonable difference in commission error. Finally, discriminant analysis showed the reasonable classification rate and discriminant loading for each comparison condition. Taken together, the results of the current study may be useful in understanding the characteristics of the post-error behavior pattern of the self-monitoring process in adults with ADHD tendency and malingering groups.
