SONATA BIS -- 4-year research grant awarded by the Polish National Science Centre for the project "Cognitive flexibility, cognitive load, and interpreting performance in simultaneous interpreters as a function of age". The aim of the project is to study how interpreters' abilities change as they get older, focusing on their cognitive flexibility, i.e. the capability of adapting to a change of task or problem difficulty. For this purpose, me and my team will test over 160 professional interpreters using eyetracking technology, AI and cognitive tests to find out: 1) How interpreters' brains react to different levels of difficulty in the source speech as they age; 2) How interpreters' ability to adapt and switch between languages changes as they age; 3) How interpreters' accuracy in their interpreting changes with age. The project starts at the end of November 2024. The amount of funding is PLN 1.93 million.
