Chapter 4
Research methods

The specific methods for collecting data through an experiment and for analysing the collected data through statistical testings are presented in this chapter. The data that were collected include interpreters’ CI products, their stimulated retrospection (see Section 4.4 for details), which is a reflection of their thinking process while interpreting, and notes they take down while doing CI.
