OBJECTIVES: To describe the qualitative Orientation, Memory, Verbal Fluency, Language, and Visuospatial Abilities) are commonly impaired in dementias. process of selection, translation and cultural adaptation of ACE-­‐III for use in the Egyptian‐Arabic speaking population.

METHOD: First, the questionnaire was translated into Arabic, and then back­‐translated into English. The process was then repeated until a consensus was reached about the optimal translation. In addition, we modified the test to culturally adapt it to the Egyptian population. We modified the following parts of the ACE III: Letter fluency, Name and address registration task, Knowledge memory task, Language repeon tasks, Picture naming and recognition, Reading, Recognition of camouflaged pictures. The modified ACE III was then piloted on 20 subjects with no complaint of cognitive impairment.

RESULTS: Pilot subjects included 13 males and 7 female. The mean age of the subjects was 42.85 (SD=18.32) years. Performance on the culturally-­‐adopted items was as follows: on Letter fluency subjects generated an average of 9.95 (SD=3.22) words per minute. Category fluency subjects generated an average of 31 (SD=15.7) words per minute. On comprehension, proverb repeon and reading fragmented letters, the subjects made no errors. 85% (n=17) of the subjects made no errors on knowledge task. On word repeon, 95% (n=19) of the subjects made no errors. Of the 6 culturally-­‐adapted pictures for the Egyptian population, 100% (n=20) of the subjects were able to correctly identify the lion, Aud (Lute), and Lamp; 95% (n=19) of the subjects were able to correctly identify a giraffe; 90% (n=18) of the subjects were able to correctly identify a parrot; and only 55% were able to correctly identify a violin.

CONCLUSION: Egyptian Arabic m-­‐ACE III appears to be culturally equivalent aher all forms of biases or social norms specific to the culture of origin have been removed.
