Central auditory tests.
This article overviews some selected central auditory test procedures as well as some popular issues that surround them. Both behavioral and electrophysiologic central auditory tests are discussed in reference to their clinical value as judged by their sensitivity, specificity, administration time, and reliability. Also discussed are diagnostic trends that are noted on behavioral and electrophysiologic procedures. Relationships are drawn between children with auditory processing deficits associated with learning problems and individuals with neurological lesions of the central auditory nervous system.
