1、kills and the short-term memory in SI.There is another tool which is effective in memory training: Mnemonic to Memory. Mnemonic is a device, such as a formula or rhyme, used as an aid in remembering. Mnemonics are methods for remembering information that is otherwise quite difficult to recall. A ver
2、y simple example of a mnemonic is the 30 days hath September rhyme. The basic principle of Mnemonics is to use as many of the best functions of the human brain as possible to encode information. The human brain has evolved to encode and interpret complex stimuliimages, color, structure, sounds, smel
3、ls, tastes, touch, spatial awareness, emotion, and languageusing them to make sophisticated interpretations of the environment. Human memory is made up of all these features. Typically, however, information presented to be remembered is from one sourcenormally words on a page. While reading words on
4、 a page reflects one of the most important aspects of human evolution, it is only one of the many skills and resources available to the human mind. Mnemonics seek to use all of these resources. By encoding language and numbers in sophisticated, striking images which flow into other strong images, we
5、 can accurately and reliably encode both information and the structure of information to be easily recalled later (Manktelow:2003). It is also advisable that Exercises with Interference (e.g. noises) be provided in order to prevent information loss in the Short-Term Memory, since the environment and
6、 other information present in the storage may reduce the information encoded. Recording speeches with specially inserted noises as a background is a recommended classroom practice, since this is a very effective method to enable the students to concentrate and thus strengthen their STM duration.4. C
7、onclusion Short-Term Memory is an essential part of interpreting, but memory training has long been ignored by professional trainers. From the above analysis, we can conclude that memory skills in interpreting could be acquired by effectively designed exercises. With a well-trained short-term memory
8、, interpreters are actually equipped with an effective tool for the encoding and decoding information. It is, therefore, advised that institutions of interpreter training include memory training in the design of their courses.Notes:1. Training of professional interpreters has a three-part structure:
9、 the first stage is introduction to skills specific to interpreting, for example through memory training and note-taking exercises. This is followed by intensive classroom practice. The third stage involves work experience and observation where the main focus is on task achievement.娀吀堀栀鸀豛蕛捑湫蔀卨渀最南蝥刀猀蝥刀刀匀渀洀
