    Abstract: This paper describes the structure and contents of EC301, a standardized testing battery for the evaluation of brain- damaged adults in the area of calculation and number processing. The battery was administered to 180 normal subjects stratified by education(3 levels), age (3) and gender. EC301 is composed of a large variety of tasks dealing with basic arithmetic skills, and their linguistic, spatial, and mnesic dimensions. The three main notational systems for numbers - Arabic digits, written verbal, and spoken verbal number forms - are explored. Analysis of error rates indicated the effect of some demographic factors (principally, education; incidentally, gender) on normal performance in some tasks.
