Human abilities revealed through auditory tests.

Established findings from studies of visual, musical, and speech perception abilities were used to guide the construction of auditory ability tests. Fortyfour measures based on these tests were obtained from a sample of 241 adult males. Correlation and factorial analyses were used to indicate structural interrelationships and relationships with education, musical experience, general intelligence, .and age. The results indicated separate capacities for Auditory Verbal Comprehension, Auditory Immediate Memory, Temporal Tracking, Auditory Cognition of Relationships, Discrimination Among Sound Patterns, Speech Perception Under Distraction/Distortion, and Maintaining and Judging Rhythm.
