The difference between 2 × 2 and 4 × 4 trials was marginally significant for numerosity 20 ( t (19) = 1.90, p = 0.072), but did not approach significance for numerosity 27 ( t (19) = 1.72, p = 0.101).

Similarly, in the numerosity 20, there was a significant difference between 4 × 4 and 1 × 1 divider trials ( t (19) = 3.46, p = 0.008), and a difference that approached significance between 4 × 4 and 2 × 2 divider trials ( t (19) = 1.85, p = 0.080).
