I gave a talk today at the PSYCHOLinguistic Reading Group at the School of English (IFA). Here’s the abstract:

Applying psycholinguistic research methods to Interpreting Studies

This presentation is addressed to participants of my COGSIMO post-doc project and all students interested in psycholinguistic methodology. The focus will be on experimental design and procedures on the example of three empirical studies: a cross-linguistic semantic priming experiment involving a lexical decision task, a word translation study and a self-paced mouse-driven Automated Reading Span (RSPAN) task to measure Working Memory capacity. All studies were conducted with the use of E-Prime and the Serial Response Box to collect reaction times. I will also briefly mention the rationale behind using such methods in Interpreting Studies and a possible synergy effect between psycholinguistics and research on conference interpreting.
