Abstract
This paper describes the structure and contents of EC301, a standardiz ed testing battery for the evaluation of brain-damaged adults in the a rea of calculation and number processing. The battery was administered to 180 normal subjectsstratified by education(3 levels), age (3) and gender. EC301 is composed of alarge variety of tasks dealing with basi c arithmetic skills, and their linguistic, spatial, and mnesic dimensi ons. The three main notational systems for numbers - Arabic digits, wr itten verbal, and spoken verbal number forms - are explored. Analysis of error rates indicated the effect of some demographic factors (princ ipally, education; incidentally, gender) on normal performance in some tasks.
