Abstract

This investigation provided data on the performance of 94 men and women (24 aged 18-24 yrs, 24 aged 60-66 yrs, 24 aged 67-73 yrs and 22 aged 74-80 yrs) presented a tape recording of Willeford's Central Auditory Processing Test Battery (Audiol. Hear. Educ., 1976, 2, 12-20) kindly provided by Willeford. Significant effects for age and sex and/or ear were obtained on all subtests and lists, thereby suggesting the need to control these factors as a clinical test version when associated normative data are developed.
