Abstract
Survey of current research in the clinical field of central auditory dysfunctions reveals a significant preference of assessment techniques (esp. evoked potentials) compared to controlled therapeutic trials. Many studies apply high complex designs but are lacking implications for therapeutic planning.Despite this fact basic experimental neuropsychology developed in the last years via neglect-research a more sophisticated view to recognition (WHAT) and processing of spatial dimension (WHERE). In few cases, where treatment is described in detail, the studies offer little statistically controlled efficacy data and they leave doubts concerning a valid specific treatment effect caused by therapy of central auditory disorders performed by training programms. Results of localization performance in ADD/ADHD-patients are presented and discussed separately.
