Practice question · Put in order
Order the events by which the replication crisis reshaped research practice.
- Researchers attempt to reproduce them in careful follow-up studies in the 2010s.
- A striking number of the findings fail to replicate.
- Many classic findings are published and widely cited.
- Preregistration is adopted to reduce false positives.
- An open-science movement gains momentum.
Hints
- The failures to replicate came before the reforms they triggered.
- Preregistration is the RESPONSE, adopted last, once the problem was clear.
Show the answer
- Many classic findings are published and widely cited.
- Researchers attempt to reproduce them in careful follow-up studies in the 2010s.
- A striking number of the findings fail to replicate.
- An open-science movement gains momentum.
- Preregistration is adopted to reduce false positives.
Why
Widely cited classics were followed by replication attempts in the 2010s, many failed, an open-science movement grew, and preregistration was adopted to curb false positives. The reforms are a response to the documented failures, not their cause.
