摘要：This study presents the theoretical and empirical procedures involved in the process of adaptating the extended version of the MAC Battery and of Protocole MEC de Poche to a brief Brazilian version - Brief MAC Battery. The sample was comprised of four translators, 308 non-expert judges, 14 expert judges and 36 healthy adults. Six phases were conducted: (1) comparison between expanded MAC Battery and MEC de Poche, (2) translation, (3) development of new stimuli, (4) psycholinguistic analysis by non-experts and (5) by experts and (6) pilot studies. The adapted version appeared valid to assess communication processes such as discursive, inferential-pragmatic, lexical-semantic and prosodic, and was able to contribute to the functional diagnosis of patients with cerebrovascular disease, brain injury, dementia and schizophrenia.
