Reading/Replication

Question 1

Registered report

Answer 1

• Write intro + methods, submit to a journal, you implement feedback, resubmit and it gets accepted a stage 1 registered report
• Stage 2 = later, when published
• Basically: just goes through a lot of phases of submitting, editing, and publishing

Question 2

Pre-registration

Answer 2

Document filled out by lab pre-experiment containing all of the planned steps, and posting these procedures so they have a date attached to them – and this can be referred back to as a legitimate, registered plan (adds validity)

Question 3

Conceptual vs. Direct Replication:

Answer 3

• Conceptual: just taking the main parts/phenomenon of an experiment; people replicating in their own ways/methodologies
• Direct: replicating the exact experiment, step-by-step

Question 4

Study 1 (OG) - hypothesis + results

Answer 4

• Hypothesis: expecting better memory performance when there is a context match between encoding and test than when there’s a context mismatch
• Results supported the hypothesis

Question 5

Study 2 - hypothesis + results

Answer 5

• Hypothesis: maybe people in the context matched conditions (e.g. “dry/dry” or “wet/”wet” opposed to “dry”/”wet”, were more successful due to other reasons (having a differential opportunity to rehearse material, less distraction from)
• Results did not support the hypothesis (no alternative explanations were at play)
