Abstract
This piece introduces a lifespan perspective on cognitive changes associated with sustained practice of simultaneous
interpreting. First, I briefly describe the elevated demands posed by this activity in training and work settings. Second, I argue that a
broad lifespan perspective on it requires tracking psychobiological reconfigurations in the preparation for, course of, and
withdrawal from sustained professional practice. Third, I summarize the core foci and findings of three articles
addressing each of those stages. To conclude, I propose that the field’s ongoing agenda should gravitate towards more age- and
experience-sensitive models and practices.
