ANAM Axon (CogSport) ImPACT
Consider Retest Integrity Checks Impulse Control Composite (ICC) > 30
    Simple Reaction Time (SRT) accuracy < 56%     Processing Speed (PS) accuracy > 80% Word Memory Learning (WML) < 69%
    Code Substitution-Learning (CDS) accuracy < 56%     Attention (AT) accuracy > 80% Design Memory Learning (DML) < 50%
    Procedural Reaction Time (PRO) accuracy < 56%     Learning (LN) accuracy > 53% Xs and Os (XO) total incorrect > 30
    Mathematical Processing (MTH) accuracy < 56%     Working Memory (WM) accuracy > 53% Three Letters (TL) total correct < 8
    Matching to Sample (M2S) accuracy < 56%     PS speed < AT speed
    Code Substitution-Delayed (CDD) accuracy < 56%     PS speed < WM speed
    Simple Reaction Time 2 (SR2) accuracy < 56%
Questionable Effort

Note. ANAM and ImPACT criteria are labeled as invalidity criteria, whereas Axon’s criteria are scaled in the direction of validity. ANAM’s questionable effort index was derived to differentiate between individuals instructed to put forth suboptimal versus good effort and is described by Roebuck-Spencer et al.32
