Alexander Bird (King’s College, London), Understanding the Replication Crisis as a Base Rate Fallacy
Alexander Bird (King’s College, London), Understanding the Replication Crisis as a Base Rate Fallacy
Abstract The replication (replicability, reproducibility) crisis in social psychology and clinical medicine arises from the fact that many apparently well-confirmed ex- perimental results are subsequently overturned by studies that aim to replicate the original study. The culprit is widely held to be poor science: questionable research practices, failure to publish negative results, bad incentives, and …
