Resumen
The study of the mental processes taking place when translating is an important challenge for specialists of translation didactics. Based on all indications, knowing all these processes may be the basis for designing new teaching methods that aim to develop the translators' skills and to improve their quantitative and qualitative performance. Research in this field should focus mainly on two axes: i. the reading phase as a cognitive activity through which the translator gains access to the content of the text to be translated and thus controls the outcome of his/her effort; and ii. the function of the mnemonic system during the translation act. Indicative topics for research could be the way the text for translation is mentally represented, as well as the way this representation is processed when translating. It would also be useful to study the strategies employed for translation performance, the translator's strategies for managing his/her cognitive resources, etc.
