A representative small selection of batteries for the evaluation of central auditory processing.

Battery	Ref	Information
SCAN-A: Test of Auditory Processing Disorders in Adolescents and Adults	[6]	Can be seen as an early example of a battery. Six tests: two filtered words (FW), two auditory figure-ground (AFG), a competing words (CW), and a competing sentences (CS).
SCAN-C: Test for Auditory Processing Disorders in Children-Revised	[7]	The improvements to the initial test included new test instructions to make them easier for young children, stimuli presented on a compact disc, revision of the Competing Words subtest, and the addition of a Competing Sentences subtest. Normative data were obtained on 650 children age 5 years to 11 years, 11 months old and published in 2000.
MAPA: Multiple Auditory Processing Assessment	[8]	Developed based on Musiek and Chermak [9] and ASHA recommendations [10] and published in 2000. Includes four commonly used tests, selected and recorded for use in assessing school children. The tests were administered to a sample of 81 third grade children along with the SCAN. Four separate factors emerged from the four MAPA tests: monaural separation/closure, auditory pattern/temporal ordering, binaural integration, and binaural separation.
Dutch battery	[11]	Originally developed to diagnose auditory processing disorders (APDs) in adults. Consists of eight tests: words-in noise, filtered speech, binaural fusion, dichotic digits, frequency and duration patterns, backward masking, categorical perception and digit span. Descriptive statistics were computed in 2002 on data obtained from 75 children from primary school (age 9–12 years) and 30 adolescents from secondary school (age 14–16 years) with normal hearing and intelligence. Age effects were present in most tests.
STAP: Screening Test for Auditory Processing	[12]	Contains four subsections: speech-in-noise, dichotic consonant vowel, gap detection and auditory memory. It was administered to 500 school-going children in the age range of 8–13 years (141 children at-risk on the Screening Checklist for Auditory Processing).
Norwegian Battery	[13]	Consists of Filtered Words, Competing Words, Dichotic Digits, Gaps In Noise, Duration and Frequency Pattern, Binaural Masking Level Difference, and HIST Speech in Noise test. A total of 268 normal hearing children aged 7–12 years participated in the study. Results, published in 2018, revealed no differences between genders. The children showed improving performance by age on all tests, except for the Gaps In Noise and Binaural Masking Level Difference.
Danish Auditory Processing Disorders (APD) battery	[14]	Published in 2017. Consists of four behavioral tests: the filtered words (FW) test, the dichotic digits (DD) test, the gap detection (GD) test, and the binaural masking level difference (BMLD) test. Evaluated on 158 children (75 boys and 83 girls, aged 6–16 years) with no known history of auditory problems to obtain normative values.
