Abstract

The chapter consists of a compilation of study guide questions that can be used for education, course, study, professional, and court purposes in conjunction with the book. The questions help review the major themes of the book. I have created questions that cover the multitude of specific substantive facts and considerations for each of the chapters. [In addition, the reader can consult the chapter summaries and conclusions, as well as any interim conclusions in the chapters, in order to get a survey of specifics in the book]. For example, the questions refer to the different types of response bias, the extant malingering detection systems, the best tests available, relevant evidence laws, confusions in the literature, difficulties with the current approach to malingering, innovations suggested in the book, major literature reviewed, and best practices in conducting comprehensive, impartial, and science-first assessments. All the questions in this chapter can be altered into learning objectives and associated learning outcomes, for example, by starting them with phrases such as “To use critical thinking skills to analyze; to use critical skill analysis …,” “To differentiate/apply/ascertain/determine/list/delineate/explain with examples,” etc.
