Working memory performance in expert and novice interpreters (2006, unknown): “The last study in which such a working memory measurement has been used is, as far as we know, the recent study from Liu, Schallert & Carroll (2004) where a listening span was actually used as a measure of general cognitive ability to be compared with performance on an interpreting task.”
Effect of language proficiency and degree of formal training in simultaneous interpreting on working memory and interpreting performance: Evidence from Mandarin–English speakers (2012, background): “Like Christoffels et al. (2003) and Liu et al. (2004), working memory span was examined in relation to actual simultaneous interpreting performance, but this was done not just in untrained bilinguals (as was the case in Christoffels et al., 2003) but also in student interpreters.”
