This paper analyses two different rendition versions of the opening speech given by Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley, at the Conference of the Parties organized by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change held in Egypt in 2022 (COP 27). The mode was simultaneous interpretation from English into Spanish and both versions were analysed following Seeber's (2011) cognitive load model. The aim of this paper is to analyse and reflect on the cognitive process of simultaneous interpretation to improve the self-assessment process. To this end, a reflection is suggested on the possible causes of the errors committed during speech interpretation. Also, parts of the cognitive process were analysed to identify where the errors were made and, finally, areas of improvement for the professional practice as interpreters were suggested. Throughout the project, interpreting is analysed only as a process, not as a product; that is, no subjective evaluations of the versions are presented. The findings indicate that interpreters committed errors due to three main factors: speed, accent, and lack of knowledge of the subject matter. In addition, the interpreters had difficulties, mostly, in the comprehension phase and the use of working memory (WM). Finally, it was identified that early exposure to the text and accent could decrease the interpreter's cognitive load and thus improve their performance.
