[edit] Malingering
Hiya,
I take your point about the other neuropsych tests, but in theory ANY neuropsych test could be used to pick out malingering and you could just as easily list all of them or say link to the main article on neuropsychological testing. For example if someone's had a small stroke in the left temporal lobe and they're failing all their vision tests yet are still able to drive (and undergoing litigation!) you would probably be suspicious. So you could say that Benton's Judgement of Line Orientation could help you there. I'm no expert however so if you've got the references that refer to these tests I would find it useful for my own practice!
Thanks

[edit] Absinthe
What is the basis of your change to the absinthe article "although there is evidence of absinthe in several ancient cultures?" Alanmoss 21:33, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- It is discussed in published texts and articles... There are several FAQs around the web that mention it as well, some which cite reliable information. Archaeological evidence (artifacts). --Jsliwinski 21:44, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
Could you give 1/2 citations, please. As I see it, your changes to the absinthe page are unjustified. However if you can prove me wrong, I will happily say so. At the moment your changes look like vandalism. Alanmoss 21:56, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
- There is no intent to vandalize the absinthe page, rather, there is an intent to offer a more inclusive discussion of the origins of the modern form of absinthe. The best place to look would be "Absinthe: History in a Bottle" in the chapter on its history. I don't have it in front of me, but there is a short discussion of how the modern form is descendant from a long history of liquors and "treatments." --Jsliwinski 02:57, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
- Another source, however, it lacks citation... http://www.sinfusion.com/absintheparty/history.html --Jsliwinski 03:33, 21 November 2006 (UTC)
