You’re right - it’s a small n and definitely not a representative sample! If I ever come across that kind of meta-analysis, I’ll surely share; hope you’ll ping me if you find the same. Sadly among the downsides of bleeding edge psycholinguistics: little research funding, small studies. Means results need to be taken with more than a grain of salt. But still interesting.
