The influence of visual attention on letter recognition and reading acquisition in Arabic
These findings suggest that a large share of attentional resources is required for the parallel, fine-grained processing of the multiple visual features of Arabic letters, thus taxing the attentional resources available for processing higher-order units. We therefore argue that the relationship between VAS and reading is modulated by the language script.
