Translation Process Research

When conducting translation process research using an eye-tracking device, the data you expect to gather can be categorized into various types, providing insights into cognitive processes, attention, and reading patterns of translators. Here’s a concise categorization:

1. Gaze Data:

2. Reading Patterns:

3. Cognitive Load:

4. Visual Attention:

5. Decision-Making Process:

6. Translation Strategies:

7. Error Detection & Resolution:

8. Interface Interaction:

9. External Resource Usage:

10. Fatigue & Engagement:

Each category enables researchers to dive deep into the different aspects of the translation process, revealing the cognitive and behavioral dimensions of translation. By analyzing this data, researchers can identify patterns, challenges, and strategies employed by translators, further facilitating the development of more efficient translation tools and training methodologies.
