Abstract

Interpreting is a kind of information processing with different dimension involved in it. Among the different dimensions, working memory has a primary position. At the same time, there are complicated emotions in this process. In the different emotion, anxiety took place frequently. The thesis focuses on the study of relationship between different dimensions in the information process. A theoretical approach is taken to depict the interaction among various cognition and emotion. This thesis suggests and assumption that anxiety takes bigger part to the quality of interpretation than working memory. Based on this assumption, an experimental method is taken to prove it. In the end, we find that low level of working memory is easy to cause higher interpreting anxiety and then lower quality of interpreting; On the contrary, higher level of working memory cause lower anxiety and better interpreting performance. In conclusion, interpreting performance is more constrained and influenced by interpreting anxiety.
