[[alternative]]Numbers Count - How Training, Presentation Mode, and Complexity Affect the Processing of Numbers in Interpretation
No full text[[abstract]]Many students of Chinese-English interpretation often find it difficult to translate numbers during simultaneous interpretation. A number of factors, such as digit length and the differences between Chinese and English number notation systems, could be responsible for this phenomenon. This study uses an experimental approach to test the effects of training, notation, and presentation mode on number translation. Six groups of subjects from graduate interpretation and translation programs with various training levels were tested under three presentation modes using a series of stimuli consisting of nine different types of numbers, and asked to translate them from Chinese into English. Results showed an increase in reaction time as the amount and complexity of information increased. It took longer to translate numbers with more digits, and the addition of a unit greatly increased translation time. Presentation mode also had major effects on processing time. Audio input was the easiest, followed by visual input, and the presence of both audio and visual input was the most difficult.

Buzzing with Stories: A Visit with Author, Librarian, Teacher Janice N. Harrington
No full textVernon, Alabama, 1962, before breakfast on a school dayCast-iron skillets clatter on the woodburning stove. Do you hear them? That’s the sound six-year-old Janice loves waking up to. She follows it to the kitchen where her grandmother makes biscuits. Janice watches the sifting and mixing and, while her grandmother works, Janice tells her stories. The one about a dog with a big bone who stops on a bridge and sees another dog with a bone looking back. Then the one about the terrible monster in Rabbit’s house (it’s a bee). “I’d tell her stories and she’d ask questions or laugh or ‘mm-hm,’” Harrington says. “And sometimes she’d start pounding that dough until flour flew everywhere! My stories literally filled the air, and I loved it!
