Research Methods in Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies
This chapter is in the book Research Methods in Cognitive Translation and Interpreting Studies

Abstract

Eye-tracking has emerged as a pivotal method in studying visual processing and cognitive load, providing invaluable data for linguistic and psycholinguistic analyses. In translation and interpreting research, eye-tracking technology has become central in empirical investigations into translation processes. This chapter offers a comprehensive overview of eye-tracking as a research method employed in translation and interpreting research, introducing key concepts and procedures for examining visual attention and cognitive effort. It outlines common paradigms, variables and data measurement procedures, while also offering an overview of existing hardware and software for eye-tracking data collection and analysis.
