摘要

认知因素在口译过程中一直被认为是重要的,但它们能否成为口译能力的有效组成部分仍有待进一步研究。本研究探讨认知流利度对实习口译员同声传译(SI)表现的预测价值。在SI训练开始时,测试了词汇获取、词汇检索、语言注意力控制和工作记忆能力的认知流利性指标。模拟SI任务在一个学期的强化训练期开始和结束时进行。分析结果表明:(1)认知流利度测量可以预测受训口译员在SI训练初期的SI表现有很大的差异,但只能预测训练后认知负荷较高时的SI表现;(2)与SI表现显著相关的认知流利性结构在训练前后存在差异。研究表明,认知流利度结构可能是口译成绩的预测因素,但认知流利度的预测值受认知负荷和口译员训练的影响。研究结果为将认知流利性任务纳入口译能力测试提供了经验证据。

Aptitude for interpreting: the predictive value of cognitive fluency
ABSTRACT Cognitive factors have been recognised as important in the interpreting process, but whether they could serve as valid components of interpreting aptitude still awaits further investigation. This study explores the predictive value of cognitive fluency in the simultaneous interpreting (SI) performance of trainee interpreters. Cognitive fluency measures of lexical access, lexical retrieval, linguistic attention control and working memory capacity were tested at the beginning of SI training. Simulated SI tasks were conducted at the start and the end of an intensive training period of one academic term. Results of the analyses suggest that (1) cognitive fluency measures could predict a large degree of variance in trainee interpreters’ SI performance at the initial stage of SI training, but could only predict the SI performance when the cognitive load was comparatively high after training; and, (2) cognitive fluency constructs that were significantly related to SI performance differed before and after training. It is concluded that constructs of cognitive fluency might serve as predictors for interpreting performance, but the predictive value of cognitive fluency was influenced by cognitive load and interpreter training. Findings of the study provide empirical evidence for the inclusion of cognitive fluency tasks into interpreting aptitude tests.
