We report an individual with a massive left-hemisphere lesion, who showed reverse patterns of dissociations between word and number processing in two modalities (auditory comprehension and written production). His performance in auditory comprehension was perfect for words, but severely impaired for numbers. In written production, he performed significantly better at writing numbers (both Arabic numbers and word numbers) than writing words. His visual comprehension fell into normal range for words and numbers while his oral production was at floor for both. This case profile adds further evidence to the functional/neural segregation of word and number processing systems.
我们报告了一名患有大面积左半球病变的个体，其在两种模式（听觉理解和书面表达）下的单词和数字处理表现出相反的分离模式。他在听觉理解方面对单词的表现完美，但对数字的表现严重受损。在书面表达中，他写数字（阿拉伯数字和数字单词）的表现明显优于写单词。他的视觉理解在单词和数字方面都处于正常范围，而他的口语表达在这两方面都处于极低水平。这一病例情况为单词和数字处理系统的功能/神经分离提供了进一步的证据。
