Investigation reveals cognitive load and viewing experience differ across simultaneous interpreting, auto-subtitling, and combined formats in Mandarin speakers.
Key Points
Group C exhibited the lowest cognitive effort and stress levels, demonstrating the benefits of dual-modality systems.
Auto-subtitling in Group A led to the highest reported stress levels, indicating poorer viewing experiences compared to other groups.
Participants understood content similarly, regardless of whether they used auto-subtitling, simultaneous interpreting, or both methods.
Comprehension results showed no statistically significant differences, but cognitive effort varied among the approaches employed.
