Cokely method
To understand the mental stages that interpreters go through.
2. A way in which we can talk about our work professionally and academically.
3. So miscues can be identified and reduced.
deductive reasoning
if we understand the information and context surrounding the sign = we can figure out the unknown sign
top down processing or macro processing
includes the restructuring of incoming information into more abstract units of meaning which subsume the lower-level details.
- deductive reasoning happens here. It can helps us figure out signs that we might not know.
- finding the main idea and being aware of the relationship between them
bottom up processing
this starts at or lexical level and combines information into larger and larger units.
usually new signers get stuck here - looking for word for word correspondence.
role of summarizing
being able to recall information, not creating long term memory.
very important vs not as important
what is the audience needs ?

is about pulling out the core or the gist of the message, which helps the interpreter recall details and sort information into categories.
