Predicting Confabulation from the Graham-Kendall Memory-For-Designs Test

Joslyn, Dan; And Others

Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 46, 1, 180, Feb 78

The Embellishment score on the Memory-For-Designs Test (MFD) may be a useful predictor of confabulation. Male (N=16) patients who were judged by staff to be habitual confabulators embellished their drawings on the MFD twice as frequently as a group of 16 patients of similar age (40-80) and diagnosis judged to be nonconfabulators.
