2024 The augmented interpreter: An exploratory study of the usability of augmented reality technology in interpreting Technology, Pöchhacker, Franz and Minhua Liu (eds.), pp. 282–315 | Article
Computer-assisted interpreting (CAI) tools use speech recognition and machine translation to display numbers and names on a screen or automatically suggest renditions for technical terms. One way to improve the usability of CAI tools may be to use augmented reality (AR) technology, which allows… read more
2023 Cognitive load and cognitive effort: Probing the psychological reality of a conceptual difference Translation, Cognition & Behavior 6:1, pp. 3–28 | Article
The cognitive demands associated with performing a task involve at least two dimensions: (1) the load dimension that is related to the assumed task difficulty and (2) the effort dimension that reflects the resources invested in a task. This study considers whether this distinction is actually… read more
2021 The impact of visible lip movements on silent pauses in simultaneous interpreting Interpreting 23:2, pp. 168–191 | Article
Simultaneous interpreting requires interpreters to listen to a source text while producing the target text in a second language. In addition, the interpreter needs to process various types of visual input, which may further increase the already high cognitive load. A study with 14 students of… read more
2021 Does it help to see the speaker’s lip movements? An investigation of cognitive loadand mental effort in simultaneous interpreting Translation, Cognition & Behavior 4:1, pp. 1–25 | Article
Simultaneous interpreting combines auditory and visual information. Within a multitude of visual inputs that interpreters receive, the one from the speaker seems to be particularly important (Bühler 1985; Seubert 2019). One reason might be that lip movements enhance speech perception and might… read more
2021 Stress, cognitive, emotional and ergonomic demands in interpreting and translation: A review of physiological studies Developments in Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies, Xiao, Kairong and Sandra L. Halverson (eds.), pp. 404–439 | Article
The autonomic nervous system is responsible for modulating peripheral functions in the human body and consists of sympathetic and parasympathetic branches. Its activation affects, among other things, heart rate, respiratory rate, salivation, perspiration, pupillary dilation, and blink rate. For… read more
