A SPECIFIC DEFICIT FOR NUMBERS IN A CASE OF DENSE ACALCULIA
Abstract
In this study we investigated the acalculic condition of a patient, C.G., with the classical signs of Gerstmann's Syndrome: finger agnosia; right-left disorientation; a profound agraphia (but with an equally profound alexia) and a remarkably dense acalculia. Using a series of number processing and number knowledge tasks, a selective impairment for numbers was demonstrated. Within the category of numbers C.G. showed a largely preserved ability to deal with numbers below 4, in all tasks and in all modalities, while she was totally unable to deal with numbers above 4. The consistency of responses and the ineffectiveness of cueing indicated that numbers above 4 were lost, rather than hard to access. Further testing showed that this impairment did not result from a more general semantic memory problem, a difficulty in understanding quantities or a deficit in reasoning abilities thought to underlie the concept of numbers. Difficulty with some other ordinal structures was also present, but appeared unrelated to those affecting numbers.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
