Abstract

The relationships between working memory and interpreting have been evaluated with different instruments of exploration from psycholinguistics. In this study, an adapted version of a word retention test is proposed with two versions: one in the native language, Spanish, and another in the foreign language, French, administered to beginner students in interpreting. The study provides and discusses the methodological foundations of the test and some results that confirm its usefulness when assessing working memory capacities involved in the referred practice.
