The participants were 40 adult patients (Mage = 33.15 \u00b1 12.27, range 19\u201368; 60% male) enrolled in specialized mental health and forensic care programs in The Netherlands, who were randomly assigned into either a training, a passive, or a control group. A pretest\u2013training\u2013posttest paradigm was used for the training group, and the dynamic test consisted of 26 items of the A:B::C:? type. In terms of practical use, it was found that the administration time varied largely, and 22% of the data was lost due to drop out or technical malfunctions. Test\u2013retest reliability was acceptable for the training group (r = 0.61) and good for the practice and control groups (resp. r = 0.88 and 0.80). A statistical trend was observed for the training vs. practice group (Z = \u22121.598, p = 0.055), but not for the training vs. control group (Z = \u22120.839, p = 0.201). It was concluded that an indication of training effectiveness was found; however, in this clinical sample, the applicability of the current form of the dynamic test is still limited. Several modification options are discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/bs15101342","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,30]],"date-time":"2025-09-30T08:21:51Z","timestamp":1759220511000},"page":"1342","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Dynamic Testing in a Heterogeneous Clinical Sample: A Feasibility Study"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"15","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0008-4483-5938","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Yn\u00e8s","family":"Hendriks","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Excellence for Neuropsychiatry, Vincent van Gogh Institute for Psychiatrie, 5803 AC Venray, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University, 6525 XZ Nijmegen, The Netherlands"},{"name":"STEVIG Specialized and Forensic Care of People with Intellectual Disabilities, Dichterbij, 5807 EA Oostrum, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Bart","family":"Vogelaar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology, Leiden University, 2311 EZ Leiden, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Roos","family":"van Heeswijk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Excellence for Neuropsychiatry, Vincent van Gogh Institute for Psychiatrie, 5803 AC Venray, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9280-9066","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jochanan","family":"Veerbeek","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Education and Child Studies, Leiden University, 2311 EZ Leiden, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3864-4517","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Wilma","family":"Resing","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Developmental and Educational Psychology, Leiden University, 2311 EZ Leiden, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2862-4822","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Loes","family":"van Aken","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Excellence for Neuropsychiatry, Vincent van Gogh Institute for Psychiatrie, 5803 AC Venray, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University, 6525 XZ Nijmegen, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9311-9013","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos","family":"Egger","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Centre of Excellence for Neuropsychiatry, Vincent van Gogh Institute for Psychiatrie, 5803 AC Venray, The Netherlands"},{"name":"Donders Institute for Brain, Cognition and Behaviour, Radboud University, 6525 XZ Nijmegen, The Netherlands"},{"name":"STEVIG Specialized and Forensic Care of People with Intellectual Disabilities, Dichterbij, 5807 EA Oostrum, The Netherlands"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2025,9,29]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"186","DOI":"10.1111\/jnp.12063","article-title":"Dynamic testing of learning potential in adults with cognitive impairments: A systematic review of methodology and predictive value","volume":"10","author":"Boosman","year":"2016","journal-title":"Journal of Neuropsychology"},{"key":"ref_2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1034","DOI":"10.1017\/S1355617714000897","article-title":"Validity of the dynamic wisconsin card sorting test for assessing learning potential in brain injury rehabilitation","volume":"20","author":"Boosman","year":"2014","journal-title":"Journal of the International Neuropsychological Society"},{"key":"ref_3","unstructured":"Bouma, A., Mulder, J., Lindeboom, J., and Schmand, B.
