| Summary: | Although the Holy Quran is a sacred book that is read or recited by more than a billion Muslims
worldwide, there is insufficient evidence to suggest that the Quran recitation process has been
extensively studied using eye tracking technology. To better understand the cognitive processes behind
Quran recitation, this study compared the recitation of Quranic verses and their Latin-based translation
by analysing the time it takes to complete the recitation process, the number of fixations, and the
complexity of fixation distribution by using fractal dimensions. This study found that although the time
it takes to complete the recitation process and the number of fixations could be determined, both
outcomes were most likely confounded by the tajweed of Quran recitation. Nevertheless, fixation
distribution was found to be less complex in reciting Quranic verses, suggesting that the verses were
easier for encoding than their Latin-based translations. |
