Evidence of cognitive process among interpreters?

Interpreters

Interpreters

What is the nature of the bimodal bilingual brain? That’s the question at The Laboratory for Language and Cognitive Neuroscience at San Diego State University, California. They are currently conducting research on the cognitive process of bilinguals who are working as interpreters.

As someone whose worked (and married) amongst these bilingual interpreter types for some two decades, I’ve sometimes come to question the very existence of “cognitive process.” Hopefully science will be able to settle this issue once and for all.

Below is a link that will allow interpreters to take a short online survey designed to provide new perspectives about the role of language direction in interpreters‘ work — specifically in experiences with interpreting between a native language and a target language.

Send an e-mail address to Brenda Nicodemus to receive the compiled results. All e-mail addresses and survey responses will remain completely anonymous.
