[Problems in auditory perception and verbal and nonverbal intelligence].

The connection between auditory perception and verbal/nonverbal cognitive achievements were studied in a sample of 300 clients of the school counselling service in the district of Neuss. Nearly 46% of the pupils do have problems with the auditory perception; these pupils do have lower test-results in overall intelligence, especially in verbal cognitive achievements. It is concluded that tests concerning the auditory perception should be used more often.
