| Summary: | We investigated the memory control processes
used by a group of people who commit to memory the
entire word text of the Quran with complete accuracy. The
findings from interviews conducted, strengthened the
involvement of several control processes such as rehearsal,
motivation or interest and self-discipline. More importantly,it has been found that it is maintenance and not elaborative rehearsal that plays the most important role in the memorization of the Quran. These findings will help to form a better understanding o f the cognitive basis
underlying human memory. This knowledge can be
incorporated with technology for the purpose of
optimizing human potential. More importantly, it gives
implications to learning process at large and opens new
opportunities and ways to serve the Ummah better. |
