This study has as a theme the pitch pattern and duration tests in Brazil and as a purpose to review and explain the temporal auditory processing evaluation in Brazil, specifically the temporal ordering tasks (pitch pattern and duration pattern tests). In order to achieve this objective was performed a systematic literature review on national journals, electronically accessed on the Scielo and Lilacs database, no restrictions related to year of publication. The research was structured using the descriptors: temporal processing, auditory temporal processing, temporal tests, pitch pattern sequence test, duration pattern test, auditory perception and auditory tests. The survey returned 33 national publications including 28 articles from journals, a master thesis and four doctoral theses. Thus, it can be seen that the use of the tests to assess the ability of temporal ordering in Brazil are recent and it’s remarkable the significant increase of publications over the last past years. The emerging knowledge in Brazil made possible by the access to the tests allows extending a research field to all professionals committed to this issue.
