2025 The modulation effect of (trained) bilingualism on cross-linguistic idiomaticity Translation, Cognition & Behavior 8:1, pp. 1–37 | Article
We investigated how translation expertise and untrained bilingualism modulate the retrieval of translation equivalents of idiomatic units across languages.

2017 Experience with code-switching modulates the use of grammatical gender during sentence processing Linguistic Approaches to Bilingualism 7:2, pp. 163–198 | Article
Using code-switching as a tool to illustrate how language experience modulates comprehension, the visual world paradigm was employed to examine the extent to which gender-marked Spanish determiners facilitate upcoming target nouns in a group of Spanish-English bilingual code-switchers. The first… read more
2016 Chapter 11. Multi-component perspective of cognitive control in bilingualism Cognitive Control and Consequences of Multilingualism, Schwieter, John W. (ed.), pp. 271–296 | Article
In this chapter, we outline a novel approach to investigating the relation between bilingualism and executive functioning that may circumvent some limitations of previous studies. Whereas previous research has mainly focused on exploring isolated components of executive control (mainly inhibitory… read more
2015 The role of advance preparation in simultaneous interpreting: A comparison of professional interpreters and interpreting students Interpreting 17:1, pp. 1–25 | Article
Current comprehension models recognize the role of prior topic-specific knowledge in the processing of general and specialized discourse (e.g. Gernsbacher 1990; Johnson-Laird 1983; Kintsch 1988). In interpreting, there is widespread consensus that interpreters work better when they prepare in… read more
2007 Predicting proficiency in signed language interpreting: A preliminary study Interpreting 9:1, pp. 71–93 | Article
An empirical study was designed to identify which perceptual-motor, cognitive and personality factors may underlie both acquisition of a signed language as a B language and development of signed language interpreting skills. If abilities that are potentially needed are found, a previous assessment… read more
2000 Comprehension processes in simultaneous interpreting Translation in Context: Selected papers from the EST Congress, Granada 1998, Chesterman, Andrew, Natividad Gallardo San Salvador and Yves Gambier (eds.), pp. 127–142 | Article
