  1. Note. Frequencies of numerical advantages, linguistic advantages, mixed patterns are listed. *All three tasks combined (numbers vs. letters/months), although sequences of numbers vs. months actually belong to the second task group; **n = 33, threefold dissociation patterns a-b-c including all three task comparisons (a: Arabic digits vs. number words, b: number words vs. animals, c: Arabic digits vs. animals), patterns were assigned according to b-c (Arabic digits and number words compared to animals): 1including 1 N-0-0, 20-N-N or 0-L-L resp., 30-N-0, 4 N-0-N, 5 N-L-0, 6 L-N-0, 7 L-0-L.
