Elvira Masoura
Aristotle University of Thessaloniki
Elvira Masoura is an Associate Professor Department of Psychology Aristotle University of Thessaloniki. Her research interests lie in the area of Experimental Cognitive Psychology with emphasis on memory and language. The largest part of her empirical work concerns the links between these two cognitive systems, from a developmental perspective. Her published work focuses on the function of working memory in clinical and typical populations and examines the contributions of working memory to several cognitive tasks such as vocabulary acquisition, reading, writing, orthography, academic performance and second language learning. The range of age groups that she studys varies from early childhood to elderly people and from typical adults to populations with neurodevelopmental disorders. Her most resent work focuses on development of tools for estimating working memory capacity among children and adults and on the development of computerized training programs that enhance working memory capacity. Recently, she has been involved in projects that investigate the links among executive functions and bilingualism, in diverse educational settings and with main interest the bilingual advantage observed in several bilingual and biliterate groups.
