Executive Summary Transparency Replicability Clarity We ran a replication of Study 1 from this paper, which tested whether a series of popular logos and characters (e.g., Apple logo, Bluetooth symbol, Mr. Monopoly) showed a “Visual Mandela Effect”—a phenomenon where people hold “specific and consistent visual false memories for certain images in popular culture.” For example, […]| Transparent Replications
