| In this thesis, the author first briefly introduces the definition and development of interpreting, makes clear its categories and analyzes the similarities and differences between consecutive interpreting and simultaneous interpreting. Afterwards, the author reviews the explanation of interpreting process by Interpretive School and mainly explores processing capacity consumption of note-taking in consecutive interpreting within the framework of Gile's Effort Model, indicating its crucial role on the quality of consecutive interpreting. Next, after describing three kinds of memories included in information processing system, the author makes an analysis of their role in interpreting process, and consequently arrives at the conclusion that notes are a necessary supplement to assist memory. Then the author further discusses positive and negative roles of notes in consecutive interpreting, and points out that the use of scientific note-taking strategies can reduce its negative impact to the greatest extent and save limited processing capacity as well as time. Therefore, the author continues to look into the components of note-taking, and offers personal proposals on what to note and how to note, such as what language, special symbols and structure to be used in notes. After that, based on Anderson's ACT Model, the author makes an exploration as to how to enhance note-taking competence. In the author's opinion, through repeated and constant practice, declarative knowledge on note-taking can gradually become procedural knowledge while information processing will develop from controlled process to automatic process. In this way, the efficiency of notes is ensured and the consumption of note-taking in processing capacity and time is reduced to the lowest degree. Finally, in light of this conclusion, the author, with respect to various components of note-taking especially the use of symbols, makes her own suggestions on ways of enhancing note-taking competence.
