Comparing the recitation of Quranic verses and their latin-based translation using eye tracking technology

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 Qu...

description 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.
