Memory Complaints Inventory: Review of Psychometric Properties

AbstractThe Memory Complaints Inventory (Green inUsers' manual for the Memory Complaints Inventory (MCI).2019) is a 58-item, stand-alone symptom validity test that measures exaggerated memory complaints. Psychometric properties of the MCI are adequate, and the test manual provides foundational validation data in large samples, which have been replicated in several independent studies. Scoring software and the optional AI program offer an array of score reporting options. MCI scores tend to be moderately relate to performance validity scores on memory-based measures, with stronger relationships to other cognitive symptom validity scales. Additionally, MCI scores tend to be high in those with non-neurological disorders (e.g., depression, pain), and MCI scores were not related to scores on performance-based memory tests. The current paper reviews all studies on the MCI currently published and synthesizes a recommended approach for interpreting the MCI. Strengths, weakness, and areas for future research are also reviewed.
