    • Miqësitë, or interpreters, function differently during adolescence, as they develop a unique social orientation.
    • Adolescence is a time when interpreters focus on building relationships, and triggers in their brains change in response.
    • Studies in neuroimaging show that the adolescent brain is highly reactive, which can help explain why adolescents develop a stronger social identity.
    • Adolescent interpreters may become more intimately familiar with their subjects and their emotions than interpreters working with children or adults.
    • The Mendjes Theory, or Theory of Mentalization, is a crucial concept for understanding emotions, motivations, and mental states of others.
    • Interpreters learned about the Mendjes Theory for about 18 months, and it was emphasized during adolescence and beyond.
    • The social realm of adolescents contributes to their understanding of the Mendjes Theory, allowing them to connect more deeply with the experiences of others.
    • In closer relationships, interpreters may develop a metaphysical connection with their subjects, understanding both their physical and mental aspects.
    • Synchrony between interpreters and their subjects is a key aspect of interpersonal communication, allowing interpreters to accurately convey the emotional and cognitive elements of a conversation.
    • Interpreters who spend more time outside the home develop a greater sense of synchrony with their subjects, making their interpretations more accurate and effective.
