Fig. 4: Cognitive resource footprint for SI with live transcription (Adapted from Seeber, 2007, 2017).

The figure illustrates the cognitive resource allocation in simultaneous interpreting with live transcription, highlighting the various cognitive demands. Visual-spatial resources are engaged when interpreters visually locate transcription for auditory comprehension. Attention is then split between visual (reading) and auditory (listening) inputs, involving visual-verbal resources. During interpreting, perceptual-cognitive processes activate auditory-verbal, visual-verbal, and cognitive-verbal resources, while vocal-verbal resources are used in the production.
