Cognitive load significantly differs between human translation and human-computer collaborative translation, especially in complex tasks.
Eye tracking analysis showed higher fixation times and regressions in human translation, indicating greater cognitive effort.
The study involved eye tracking data collection using Tobii Pro Glasses2 among master's students focused on translation tasks.
Findings support the need for optimizing translation tools to manage cognitive load effectively during complex translation tasks.
