Delong, Urbach & Kutas (2017), Concerns with Multi-lab Replication Attempt 1 Concerns with Nieuwland Et Al. (2017)

چکیده
Nieuwland et al. (2017, http://biorxiv.org/content/early/2017/02/25/111807) recently made available their (thus far to our knowledge) unpublished manuscript, describing a nine-lab replication attempt of DeLong, Urbach and Kutas (2005), hereafter DUK05. They concluded that over their nine labs, the a/an Article prediction effect reported in DUK05 did not replicate. Here, we highlight some features of their project that undermine confidence in the purported non-replication of this relatively small language ERP effect. Our central concerns involve a number of discrepant ERP and behavioral findings between the original DUK05 report and the new nine-lab study, as well as discrepancies among the nine labs themselves.

متن کاملChallenges to Ego-Depletion Research Go beyond the Replication Crisis: A Need for Tackling the Conceptual Crisis
One important line of self-control research concerns the phenomenon known as ego-depletion, the negative effect of performing a self-control task (Task 1) on performance on a subsequent self-control task (Task 2). Although a 2010 meta-analysis reported a moderate effect size (d = 0.62) for this phenomenon (Hagger et al., 2010), its replicability has since come under scrutiny with the publicatio...

In a recent article the principles of and the recommended practices for rescaling scalp-recorded electrophysiological data were submitted to a comprehensive review [Urbach, T.P., Kutas, M., 2002. The intractability of scaling scalp distributions to infer neuroelectric sources. Psychophysiology 39, 791-808]. The authors argued, on both conceptual and pragmatic grounds, that the practice of resca...
