I will also present findings on the role of cognitive capacities (e.g., working memory, short-term memory, processing speed, inhibition), locality, morphosyntactic category and demographic factors in verb-related morphosyntactic production (VRMP). To investigate the role of the above factors in VRMP, we focused on healthy aging and tested more than 380 neurotypical native speakers of Standard Greek, aged between 19 and 86 years (Fyndanis et al., 2018, 2022; Soilemezidi et al., under review). Shedding light on the impact of the above factors on VRMP is crucial for a deeper understanding of morphosyntactic deficits in individuals with acquired neurogenic disorders.</span></span></div></div></body></html>
