Summary:

The NVCL-20 is an observation scale to measure spontaneous confabulation. This scale's items cover spontaneous confabulation, provoked confabulation, and memory and orientation. The categories of the NVCL-20 have “good” to “excellent” internal consistency and inter-rater agreement. Administration is reliable, valid and feasible in clinical practice, making it a useful addition to existing confabulating measures.
