A new standard for the analysis and design of replication studies [PDF]
A new standard is proposed for the evidential assessment of replication studies. The approach combines a specific reverse Bayes technique with prior‐predictive tail probabilities to define replication success.

ObjectiveMuch of psychological research has suffered from small sample sizes and low statistical power, resulting in unstable parameter estimates. The Bayesian approach offers a promising solution by incorporating prior knowledge into statistical models,

Is spacing really the friend of induction?
Inductive learning takes place when people learn a new concept or category by observing a variety of exemplars. Kornell and Bjork (2008) asked participants to learn new painting styles either by presenting different paintings of the same artist ...

Scalable, integrative methods to understand mechanisms that link genetic variants with phenotypes are needed. Here we derive a mathematical expression to compute PrediXcan (a gene mapping approach) results using summary data (S-PrediXcan) and show its ...

Modification of episodic memories by novel learning: a failed replication study
Background: After reactivation, memories can become unstable and sensitive to modification before they are restored into long-term memory. Using behavioural manipulations, reactivated memories may be disrupted via the mechanism of interference (i.e ...

“Voodoo” Science in Neuroimaging: How a Controversy Transformed into a Crisis
Since the 1990s, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) techniques have continued to advance, which has led researchers and non specialists alike to regard this technique as infallible.

Mendelian randomization study of causal link from gut microbiota to colorectal cancer
Recent studies have shown the relevance of gut microbiota in the occurrence and development of colorectal cancer (CRC), but the causal relationship remains unclear in the human population. The present study aims to assess the causal relationship from the

Statistical Rituals: The Replication Delusion and How We Got There
The “replication crisis” has been attributed to misguided external incentives gamed by researchers (the strategic-game hypothesis). Here, I want to draw attention to a complementary internal factor, namely, researchers’ widespread faith in a statistical ...
