Despite psychological findings that rare words have long access times (Balota and Chumbley, 1985;Jescheniak and Levelt, 1994;Griffin and Bock, 1998), listeners expect interpreters to quickly understand the source words and generate accurate translations.
professional simultaneous interpreters often work in pairs (Millán and Bartrina, 2012); while one interpreter performs, the other notes certain challenging items, such as dates, lists, names, or numbers (Jones, 2002).
