Abstract
We discuss the neuroimaging study (McMillan et al., 2005). According
to the authors their results verify a particular computational model
of natural language quantifier comprehension posited by several
linguists and logicians (see Van Benthem, 1986). We challenge this
statement by evoking the computational difference between first-order
quantifiers and divisibility quantifiers (see M. Mostowski, 1998). Our
observations suggest other studies on quantifier comprehension which
can throw more light on the role of working memory in processing
quantifiers.
