2025 Chapter 2. Designing studies with naturalistic tasks Research Methods in Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies, Rojo López, Ana María and Ricardo Muñoz Martín (eds.), pp. 49–68 | Chapter
This chapter presents an overview of what constitutes a naturalistic task in cognitive translation and interpreting studies (CTIS), taking into account research settings, methodologies, data collection methods, and the participants involved. Naturalistic tasks are situated along a continuum that… read more
2024 Psychometric properties of survey translations: A simulation study Translation and Interpreting at the Interface of Cognition and Emotion, Rojo López, Ana María and Purificación Meseguer Cutillas (eds.), pp. 159–185 | Article
Psychometrics involves the indirect measurement of latent constructs, including aspects of cognition and emotion, and Likert-type scales are a common tool to operationalize and quantify these constructs. One threat to the psychometric properties of such scales is the administration of surveys… read more
2023 Chapter 8. Embedding, extending, and distributing interpreter cognition with technology Interpreting Technologies – Current and Future Trends, Corpas Pastor, Gloria and Bart Defrancq (eds.), pp. 195–216 | Chapter
Interpreters work in increasingly technologized environments, with access to hardware and software prior to and during the interpreting task, which can support their work in a variety of ways. Some of these tools are used prior to the interpreting task as a means to prepare materials,… read more
2023 ASTM and ISO standards in U.S. legal language services: Questions of professionalization and language access The Role of ISO/TC 37 Standards for Translators, Interpreters, Terminologists and Beyond, Kockaert, Hendrik J. (ed.), pp. 133–155 | Article
In the United States, legal language services are shaped by both de jure and de facto standards, which encompass not only the professional profile of court interpreters but also the provision of legal translation and interpreting services. This article investigates the potential influence of… read more
2022 Self-care strategies of professional community interpreters: An interview-based study Translation, Cognition & Behavior 5:2, pp. 275–299 | Article
Previous studies on affective dimensions of interpreting suggest that the emotionally-charged conversations or complex topics encountered by interpreters in community settings may be stressful and emotionally taxing, leaving interpreters prone to vicarious trauma and retraumatization. The… read more
2022 Considerations of ecological validity in cognitive translation and interpreting studies Translation, Cognition & Behavior 5:1, pp. 1–26 | Article
Renewed interest in research methods used in cognitive translation and interpreting studies (CTIS) has led to increased reflection on the nature of research and experimental design, internal and external validity, and the type and nature of experimental tasks. Of particular concern is the extent… read more
2021 Chapter 4. An information asymmetry framework for strategic translation policy in multinational corporations Translating Asymmetry – Rewriting Power, Carbonell i Cortés, Ovidi and Esther Monzó-Nebot (eds.), pp. 77–99 | Chapter
The size and scope of multinational corporations in the globalized and interconnected modern economy has increased the need for language services to facilitate a broad range of cross-language communication. Much of the prior research on language in international business has emphasized a… read more

This quantitative analysis utilizes a random effects model to combine multiple studies in an examination of differences between professional… read more
2018 Re-thinking translation quality: Revision in the digital age Target 30:2, pp. 310–331 | Article
Editing and revision are regularly incorporated into professional translation projects as a means of quality assurance. Underlying the decision to include these tasks in translation workflows lay implicit assumptions about what constitutes quality. This article examines how quality is… read more
2018 Community interpreting, translation, and technology Community Interpreting, Translation, and Technology, Pokorn, Nike K. and Christopher D. Mellinger (eds.), pp. 337–341 | Introduction
2018 Order effects in the translation process Translation, Cognition & Behavior 1:1, pp. 1–20 | Article
This study investigates how the order in which various translation memory match-types occur in a target language version of a text may influence translator behavior and cognition. Empirical research designs often attempt to mitigate for possible confounds from order effects, yet explicit… read more
2018 Interpreter traits and the relationship with technology and visibility Community Interpreting, Translation, and Technology, Pokorn, Nike K. and Christopher D. Mellinger (eds.), pp. 366–392 | Article
