摘要：

We report a case study of a patient (IH) with a progressive impairment of semantic memory affecting all categories of knowledge apart from numbers. Pictorial material was better understood than words, but was still severely impaired. The selective preservation of nearly all aspects of numerical knowledge suggested that this domain might have different neuropsychological status from other aspects of semantic memory.
