This research posed several questions: Can normal subjects produce a frontal lobe profile on the Luria-Nebraska, Form I, and what effect might coaching have on this ability? In addition, can subjects maintain profile stability over one week's time, and what effect might coaching have on this ability? / Uncoached subjects had considerable difficulty in dissimulating a frontal lobe profile. Coached subjects, on the other hand, produced significantly more profiles that were classified as having frontal lobe damage when critical scale elevations were used to make the classification. In absolute terms, more coached subjects were also classified as "frontal" by judges, but this difference did not reach significance. / In terms of profile stability, the results of this study indicate that a test-retest method for the detection of faking has some promise. Despite subjects being told to try to match their previous performances, the Motor and Expressive Speech scales demonstrated significant differences on retest for both groups. / The question of whether coaching effects profile stability must remain unanswered for the moment. The failure to demonstrate significant differences means little in light of the small sample size. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 45-06, Section: B, page: 1907. / Thesis (Ph.D.)--The Florida State University, 1984.
