Quantificational variability effect

Alright kiddo, let me explain the quantificational variability effect to you.

Do you remember learning about counting? Like how you count how many apples are in a basket? Well, sometimes it's hard to count everything because there might be a lot of things or they might be mixed up with other stuff.

Now imagine if you were asked to count all the red apples in a basket, but some of the apples were green. You might have a hard time counting just the red ones because you have to figure out which ones are red and which ones are green.

This is kind of like the quantificational variability effect. It's when people have a hard time counting or recognizing something when it has different variations or kinds.

For example, let's say someone asked you to count how many birds you see. But some of the birds are really big like a pelican and some are really tiny like a hummingbird. You might have a harder time counting them all because they are so different in size.

This effect can happen with lots of things, not just birds or apples. Sometimes it can be hard to notice the same thing when it's in a different form or has different qualities.

Does that make sense, kiddo?
