A Quantification question requires a short answer. Quantification questions are formed according to the following abstract specification: "What qualitative attributes does entity X have? What is the value of a quantitative variable? How many?" [1]
Example (1):
-"How many degrees of freedom are on this variable?"
Example (2):
-Explainer: [Try look over there and concentrate on his face over there., 'Can you see me waving my hand without turning your eyes?'] -Explainee: ['No.'] -Explainer: ['Alright, so, at some point,', 'you can probably see it right now?', 'So without moving your eyes, this is kind of hard,', "tell me how many fingers I'm holding up?] ---> Quantification question -Explainee: ['Uh, three?']
