{"product_id":"9781563686672","title":"Interpreting in the Zone: How the Conscious and Unconscious Function in Interpretation","description":"Successful interpretation can feel seamless, an intuitive and efficient translation of meaning from one signed or spoken language to another. Yet the process of interpretation is actually quite complex and relies upon myriad components ranging from preparation to experience to honed judgment. Interpreting in the zone, instinctively and confidently, is an energizing, encompassing experience that results in great satisfaction and top performance—but what does it take to get there? \u003cbr\u003e        Jack Hoza’s newest research examines the components that enable interpreters to perform successfully, looking at literature in interpretation, cognitive science, education, psychology, and neuroscience, as well as reviewing the results of two qualitative studies he conducted. He seeks to uncover what it means to interpret in the zone by understanding exactly how the brain works in interpretation scenarios. He explores a range of dichotomies that influence interpretation outcomes, such as: \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eIntuition vs. rational thought\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eLeft brain vs. right brain\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eExplicit vs. implicit learning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eNovice vs. master\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpoken vs. signed languages\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEmotion vs. reasoning\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e        Cognitive processes such as perception, short-term memory, and reflexivity are strong factors in driving successful interpretation and are explored along with habits, behaviors, and learned strategies that can help or hinder interpretation skills. Hoza also considers the importance of professional development and collaboration with other practitioners in order to continually hone expertise. \u003cbr\u003e        \u003ci\u003eInterpreting in the Zone\u003c\/i\u003e shows that cognitive research can help us better understand the intricacies of the interpreting process and has implications for how to approach the interpreting task. This resource will be of value to both the interpreter-in-training as well as the seasoned practitioner.","brand":"Gallaudet University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47175375683824,"sku":"9781563686672","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781563686672_p0.jpg?v=1763758527","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781563686672","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
