Charalambous, Marina; Phylactou, Phivos; Elriz, Thekla; Psychogios, Loukia; Annoni, Jean-Marie; Kambanaros, Maria – International Journal of Language & Communication Disorders, 2022
Background: Evidence-based assessments for people with aphasia (PWA) in Greek are predominantly impairment based. Functional communication (FC) is usually underreported and neglected by clinicians. This study explores the adaptation and psychometric testing of the Greek (GR) version of The Scenario Test. The test assesses the everyday FC of PWA in…

Background: Evidence-based recommendations for a core outcome set (COS; minimum set of outcomes) for aphasia treatment research have been developed (the Research Outcome Measurement in Aphasia--ROMA, COS). Five recommended core outcome constructs: communication, language, quality of life, emotional well-being and patient-reported…

Background: It has been suggested that public awareness of aphasia is vital for extending services, research support, social inclusion and targeted raising of awareness. Earlier studies show that knowledge of aphasia varies across a range of variables, but is very low compared with other conditions. Aims: To report a series of surveys of public…

Morphosyntactic Production and Verbal Working Memory: Evidence from Greek Aphasia and Healthy Aging
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Fyndanis, Valantis; Arcara, Giorgio; Christidou, Paraskevi; Caplan, David – Journal of Speech, Language, and Hearing Research, 2018
Purpose: The present work investigated whether verbal working memory (WM) affects morphosyntactic production in configurations that do not involve or favor similarity-based interference and whether WM interacts with verb-related morphosyntactic categories and/or cue-target distance (locality). It also explored whether the findings related to the…

Kambanaros, Maria – International Journal of Bilingual Education and Bilingualism, 2016
This study reports on the pattern of performance on spoken and written naming, spelling to dictation, and oral reading of single verbs and nouns in a bilingual speaker with aphasia in two first languages that differ in morphological complexity, orthographic transparency, and script: Greek (L1a) and English (L1b). The results reveal no verb/noun…

Production of Modal and Negative Particles in Greek Aphasia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Koukoulioti, Vasiliki – Clinical Linguistics & Phonetics, 2010
This study aims at investigating the production of the Greek modal and negative particles by non-fluent aphasic patients. These particles belong to the highest part of the verb periphrasis, so they are likely to be impaired in non-fluent aphasia, according to some hypotheses about agrammatic language. Moreover, there is an agreement relation…

The Trouble with Nouns and Verbs in Greek Fluent Aphasia
Peer reviewed Peer reviewed
Direct linkDirect link
Kambanaros, Maria – Journal of Communication Disorders, 2008
In the past verb retrieval problems were associated primarily with agrammatism and noun retrieval difficulties with fluent aphasia. With regards to fluent aphasia, so far in the literature, three distinct patterns of verb/noun dissociations have been described for individuals with fluent anomic aphasia in languages with different underlying forms;…
