Abstract
Over the past decade, interest has grown in applying advanced technologies such as eye-tracking to investigate and measure interpreters’ cognitive processes. Gaze measures, including fixation, saccades, and pupil size, have been used to examine various interpreting modes. This article systematically reviews 32 eye-tracking studies of interpreting (published 1981–2021) identified through Web of Science, Scopus, and Google Scholar to examine (i) how measures of interpreters’ gaze behavior relate to their cognitive processes and (ii) which factors influencing these processes have been investigated using eye-tracking. In addition to demonstrating methodological benefits, several limitations were identified in existing scholarship, and potential research directions are proposed based on these findings.
