Examined the value of adding an additional diagnostic task to the current 6 diagnostic tasks of the Assessment of Basic Learning Abilities Test (ABLA) hierarchy. The intended task was the assessment of the ability to make an auditory match-to-sample discrimination. A 2-choice auditory identity matching test was developed and evaluated in 2 experiments. Exp 1 using 31 clients (aged 8-32 yrs) with profound to moderate levels of retardation demonstrated that auditory identity matching fell between Level 4, visual match-to-sample, and Level 5, auditory discrimination, in the ABLA hierarchy. Exp 2, using 8 clients (aged 17-36 yrs) with profound to moderate levels of retardation, demonstrated that performance on the test of auditory matching predicted Ss' ability to match several pairs of common sounds.
