For example, a set of multicolored M&M’s was estimated to contain fewer M&M’s than an equally large set of single-colored M&M’s (e.g., Redden and Hoch, 2009, Study 3). We conducted six studies with methods that were similar to those used by Redden and Hoch (2009) and did not find this effect in any of them. A meta-analysis of the four original studies and 6 replication studies (N = 1,383) revealed no evidence for the phenomenon that variety reduces perceived quantity.engfile-drawer reportquantity estimationvarietyGestaltreplication150article10.15626/MP.2020.2639
