Abstract
This study examined whether there is a significant difference in performance on two different versions of the Test of Memory Malingering (TOMM; Tombaugh, Citation1996). Differences in performance were compared between the examiner-administered booklet version versus the self-administered computerized version. No statistically significant differences were found between performance on the two versions. These data indicate that the two versions of the TOMM produce equivalent performance, at least among college students. Further studies employing other populations are warranted.
