This course provides information on the importance of rapid and efficient cognitive processing in English and ASL. Exercises in ASL and English are provided. They include: shadowing, decalage, dual tasking, memory development, and digit processing.
-
1.00 Credits
This course is designed for interpreters who would like to develop consecutive interpretation skills. Consecutive interpretation can be used as a professional tool or as a training exercise. Consecutive interpretation of the message begins after the source message has paused or stopped. Development of consecutive interpretation skills enhances memory development, both visual and auditory. The development of this skill enhances self-confidence in interpreters, and it allows for the development of cognitive control of processes central to interpretation. Component skills are also addressed, such as abstraction, note taking, expansion, cloze, and prediction. Prerequisites: Fluency in ASL and English and translation skills.

This graduate-level course is designed for interpreters who have experience interpreting from ASL to English and from English-based signing into English and who can usually understand most of the message but frequently miss fingerspelled words on the first try. Experiences designed to improve fingerspelled word recognition on the first try will be provided. Fingerspelled words will be studied in context and in isolation. A televised lecture by Robert E. Johnson, Ph.D., "The Structure of Fingerspelling, " will be incorporated into the course. The course also has a theoretical component in that the underlying cognitive processes associated with fingerspelled word recognition will be explained and discussed. The theoretical aspects form the basis for the practical applications.
