DESCRIPTION:We examine the understanding of senten
 ces containing a single quantifier. Subjects were 
 asked to make truth value judgments of a sentence 
 relative to a model (the latter presented visually
 ), where each sentence contained a single quantifi
 er which could be an Aristotelean (e.g., "all", "s
 ome", "no"), a cardinal determiner ("at least n", 
 where n > 0), a parity determiner (e.g., "an even/
 odd number of") or a majority determiner (e.g., "m
 ore than half"). The judgment marshalled parts of 
 the parietal lobe normally associated with number 
 processing; furthermore, a neuroanatomical differe
 nce was noted between first order and higher order
  quantifiers. Based on these observations, we comp
 ared different populations---corticobasal degenera
 tion (CBD) patients, fronto-temporal dementia (FTD
 ) patients and Alzheimers (AZ) patients---with res
 pect to their behavior on various types of quantif
 iers. The results suggest that understanding of se
 ntences containing quantifiers crucially involves 
 number sense.    For more information, see http://

 We examine the understanding of sentences containi
 ng a single quantifier. Subjects were asked to mak
 e truth value judgments of a sentence relative to 
 a model (the latter presented visually), where eac
 h sentence contained a\n        single quantifier 
 which could be an Aristotelean (e.g., &quot;all&qu
 ot;, &quot;some&quot;, &quot;no&quot;), a cardinal
  determiner (&quot;at least n&quot;, where n &gt; 
 0), a parity determiner (e.g., &quot;an even/odd n
 umber of&quot;) or a majority determiner (e.g., &q
 uot;more than half&quot;).  The judgment marshalle
 d parts of the parietal lobe normally associated w
 ith number processing; furthermore, a neuroanatomi
 cal difference was noted between first order and h
 igher order quantifiers. Based on these observatio
 ns, we compared different populations---corticobas
 al degeneration (CBD) patients, fronto-temporal de
 mentia (FTD) patients and Alzheimers (AZ) patients
 ---with respect to their behavior on various types
  of quantifiers.  The results suggest that\n
