Abstract
Introduction The majority of reports on auditory behaviour in the infant and young child give inadequate information about test conditions and lack careful scientific validation of the findings. The authors agree with Fisch (1969) and Eisenberg (1969) who argue that paedo-audio-logical procedures in current use are empirical rather than experimental. In an attempt to offset this type of approach the authors have explored certain diagnostic procedures by statistical analyses with particular reference to signal detection theory.
