Abstract
Ever since the identification of the brain areas responsible for speech processing, research has focused on the neurocognitive processes underlying listening/comprehension and speech production in order to understand how human cognition and speech processing work. Interpreting is an activity of bilingual speech processing under very specific conditions. It has attracted the interest of researchers from other disciplines dedicated to speech processing, especially neuropsychology and neurolinguistics.
