The test cases were conditionals that quantify over situations that are "minimal" in a way that is responsive to specific properties of their antecedents: the presence of count nouns versus mass nouns, telic versus atelic verb phrases, modified versus unmodified numerals, negative versus positive quantifiers.
Numerologists are people who believe that there are either positive or negative aspects to certain numerals and patterns and that these patterns can be either auspicious or highly unlucky.
For example, the Champernowne sequence, consisting of all the binary numerals for every non-negative integer listed consecutively (i.e., 011011100101110111…), is Borel normal.
Format differences were also observed in an EEG-study, with more negative event-related potentials for written number words than for Arabic numerals and auditorily presented number words [ 50].
Negative numbers, or even the number zero, had not yet been invented, and the notation was cumbersome (try doing multiplication with Roman numerals).Medieval Islamic scholars such as Muhammad al-Khwarizmi and Omar Khayyam also worked on algebraic problems (and gave us words such as "algorithm" and indeed "algebra" itself).
In addition, as in Temple and Posner, the ERPs for the small distances remained more negative during the transition to the P2p, thus showing the opposite increased positivity pattern elicited by the Arabic numerals.
