“…Existing studies have provided much evidence of differences between CTA and RTA. One of the frequently discussed topics is the quality and quantity of data provided by these methods [ 55 , 56 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 68 ]. Scientists, who have described deficiencies of verbal protocols, recommend their combination with eye-tracking, which helps to complete missing data and insights [ 47 , 54 , 64 , 65 ].…”

“…However, there are two main types (methods) of think-aloud: (1) Concurrent think-aloud (CTA), where subjects are asked to do the tasks and verbalize thoughts simultaneously; and (2) Retrospective think-aloud (RTA) where subjects are asked to do the task silently first and then retrospectively report on the solving process [ 56 ]. Over time, both methods have penetrated many fields of science, which gives rise to constant discussions of their advantages and disadvantages, as well as their applicability and validity for various research fields [ 53 , 55 , 57 , 58 , 59 , 60 , 61 , 62 ]. The related problem of CTA is the dual cognitive load when the thinking process and the verbalization process compete with each other [ 63 ].…”

Simulations and games bring the possibility to research complex processes of managerial decision-making. However, this modern field requires adequate methodological procedures. Many authors recommend the use of a combination of concurrent think-aloud (CTA) or retrospective think-aloud (RTA) with eye-tracking to investigate cognitive processes such as decision-making. Nevertheless, previous studies have little or no consideration of the possible differential impact of both think-aloud methods on data provided by eye-tracking. Therefore, the main aim of this study is to compare and assess if and how these methods differ in terms of their impact on eye-tracking. The experiment was conducted for this purpose. Participants were 14 managers who played a specific simulation game with CTA use and 17 managers who played the same game with RTA use. The results empirically prove that CTA significantly distorts data provided by eye-tracking, whereas data gathered when RTA is used, provide independent pieces of evidence about the participants’ behavior. These findings suggest that RTA is more suitable for combined use with eye-tracking for the purpose of the research of decision-making in the game environment.

“…Thinking-aloud is a method for gaining insight into humans’ thought processes by asking them to verbalize everything that passes through their minds, irrespective of whether this is related to a particular research question or activity or not. It is a method of gaining concurrent insight into test persons’ thought processes (Ericsson and Simon 1993 [1984]; Jääskeläinen 2017).…”

Advance translation is a method of source questionnaire development for multilingual survey projects to enhance translatability and (inter)cultural portability. The aim is to minimize translation issues in the final translation stage. I empirically tested the results of a previously conducted advance translation in a think-aloud study and analyzed the utterances made in a mixed-method approach, calculating chi-square statistics and cross-checking these by observational notes of the think-aloud sessions. My study confirms the usefulness of advance translation in making source items better to translate, thus improving final translation quality. It appears to be particularly useful for comprehensibility issues of the source text, irrespective of the target language. I recommend that advance translations be carried out into all languages and cultures into which the final source questionnaire is to be translated. This will improve source questionnaire translatability and, thus, final translation and overall cross-cultural data quality.

“…Jakobsen, 2003Jakobsen, , 2017, the TA method was unsatisfactory in TPR, "particularly as automatization was generally taken to be evidence of expert translation" (Jakobsen, 2017, p. 28). The more recent review on the use of verbal reports to elicit data in TPR can be found in Jääskeläinen (2017).…”

Translation Psychology, as an umbrella concept, is heterogeneous and can be investigated from different perspectives. The past few decades have witnessed the development of the cognitive–psychological approach, the social–psychological approach, the gestalt–psychological approach, and the embodied cognitive approach. These interdisciplinary approaches have spawned theoretical advances and methodological innovation, and also substantial research findings in Translation Psychology, although there are some aspects awaiting improvements. This article offers a panoramic theoretical and methodological review of these approaches: it presents their achievements, discusses the problems in their theoretical development and foresees the prospect of more integrated research on translation psychology. Multidimensional research projects on translation psychology are expected, with broader coverage of more factors influencing the translator’s psychology and more holistic views of translators in their authentic, personally, socio-culturally and historically embedded environments and networks.
