The Auditory Temporal Ordering and Resolution Tests' Effectiveness in Detecting Central Auditory Processing Disorder

Nahzat Koohi

Auditory temporal processing tests are key clinical measures in order to diagnose central auditory processing disorder (CAPD). Despite the fact that these tests have been used for decades, there is no current data to establish the usefulness of these tests in diagnosing problems in central auditory processing in adults, and the available national CAPD guidelines focus mostly on CAPD in children. The purpose of this study was to see how effective the auditory temporal ordering tests [duration pattern test (DPT) and frequency pattern test (FPT)] and a temporal resolution test [gaps-in-noise (GIN) test] are at detecting central auditory processing abnormalities in adults with documented brain pathology.
