Mandarin Expressive and Narrative TestAI
OVERVIEW
MENTAI can accurately determine whether a child’s narrative abilities are behind their peers, identify which skills are delayed, and quantify the degree of delay.
Powered by an interdisciplinary AI agent matrix, MENTAI completes speech recognition, precise analysis, and automatic report generation in just 30 seconds—boosting clinicians’ efficiency by a hundredfold.
MENTAI provides a comprehensive evaluation of children’s narrative pragmatics and Theory of Mind across multiple domains, including basic language abilities (vocabulary and syntax), social communication skills (mental-state reasoning and macrostructure), and language executive functions (story logic and macrostructure), laying the foundation for truly individualized intervention planning.

Research Publications
In 2018, research related to the MENT narrative assessment was published in the Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research (JSLHR), a leading academic journal under the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association (ASHA).
Findings revealed that: At the macrostructural level: Children with language impairments differed from typically developing children in describing characters, settings, internal states, sequences of actions, and outcomes within events. At the microstructural level: Children with language impairments produced shorter sentences, used fewer words, and fewer complex sentences. At the finer linguistic structural level: Children with language impairments showed less usage of passive constructions, quantifiers, and the perfective aspect.
