The MAE assesses three different aspects of oral expression—naming, sentence repetition, and verbal associative capacity.

Features and benefits

  • Use the MAE to valuate the presence, severity, and qualitative aspects of aphasic disorder.
  • Three tests assess oral verbal understanding; one test assesses reading comprehension; and three tests assess oral, written, and block spelling.
  • Speech articulation and the fluency-nonfluency dimension of expressive speech are rated, but not systematically sampled. Writing is evaluated through a test of written spelling.
  • Two normative samples are used: individuals ages 16–69 years and children ages 6–12 years.

Available in Spanish

The MAE Kit has been adapted into U.S. Spanish. It includes a Spanish manual, Reading Stimulus Cards, Visual Stimulus Cards, set of tokens, and 100 each of all forms. Normative data are based on a sample of Cuban, Mexican, and Puerto Rican participants.
