Stanford Psychology Podcast
Is There a Challenge to Reproducibility in Psychology?
There is no formal investigation looking at variations across fields or across methodologies for what's more replicable than other things. But the absurd variation that leads to this speculation is that areas that have an easy time acquiring data, like its trivial to get more data, also tend to have more replicable findings. In vision sciences, write these phenomeno where they can investigate, basically, you see the same phenomenon in every person they investigate. Those fields are really good at getting to credible findings quickly because they can run replications readily. Whereas Areas of research were data acquisition is really hard or expensive, like neura imaging and infant research, then every data point is precious. And doing the same study
