Dr. Marion Fossard is currently full professor in Speech and Language pathology at the University of Neuchâtel (Switzerland). Her research interests focus on the interplay between language and cognition, both in healthy adults and in acquired language disorders of vascular and neurodegenerative origin. Her current research studies are conducted in the following areas: 1- Discourse, referential adjustment and underlying cognitive skills (theory of mind, executive functions) in healthy and pathological aging. 2 - Flexional morphology, time reference and underlying cognitive skills (declarative and procedural memory, executive functions) in aphasia and neurodegenerative disorders. 3 - Development, validation and standardization of clinical tests to detect or diagnose language disorders associated with vascular or neurodegenerative origin
