'Ihis research was supported by NIH grant NS21047. Paul Macanw was supported by NRSA traineeship grant MH18215. We thank Walter Harley and Molly Treadway for their helpful comments. We are especially grateful for W s willingness to participate in this research. 'We use the term numeral to refer to a symbol or set of symbols representing a number. Arabic numcr& arc numerals in digit form (e.g. 56). and verbal numerut5 are numerals in the form of words (e.g. fifiu-sk)F. inally, we denote verbal numerals in spoken and written form as spoken verbal numer& and written verbal numeralr, respectively, using quotation marks to indicate spoken forms (e.g. "fitly-six") and italics for wnnen forms (e.g.fi&-sk).

N2 - RH, a brain-damaged patient with multiple impairments in numerical processing, was tested extensively on a set of transcoding tasks in which numerals were converted from one form to another (e.g. 94 —> ninety-four). The pattern of error rates across tasks, and the patterns of error types within tasks, support the assumption that numerical processing is mediated by multiple independent numeral comprehension and numeral production processes that communicate via central semantic representations of numbers (McCloskey, Caramazza, & Basili, 1985).
