Abstract
For a discussion of specific contributions of language functions to numerical cognition, both numerical cognition and language are viewed from a systems level perspective. The concept of dissociations of function is employed to study distinctions and commonalities of both broad functions within the anatomo-functional triple-code model by Dehaene and Cohen, also presenting a clinical case. It is argued that a within-task approach together with structural and functional brain imaging is helpful to study the distinct and joint working of language-based and semantic numerical magnitude-based processes in a numerical cognition task, which are subserved by collections of brain areas and their connecting fiber pathways. Finally, specific methodological problems with an individual differences perspective on numerical cognition are highlighted.
