TL;DR: A large-scale assessment suggests that experimental reproducibility in psychology leaves a lot to be desired, and correlational tests suggest that replication success was better predicted by the strength of original evidence than by characteristics of the original and replication teams.

TL;DR: Event-related potentials were recorded while listeners completed a change-detection and an object-encoding task with scenes composed of recognizable sounds or unrecognizable temporally scrambled versions of the recognizable sounds to determine if change deafness is a perceptual error, rather than only a reflection of verbal memory limitations.

TL;DR: The results suggest that change detection is generally limited by capacity, regardless of sound type, but that auditory memory is more enduring for sounds with naturalistic acoustic structures.

TL;DR: Findings provide converging evidence that attention to change-relevant objects is crucial for successful detection of acoustic changes and that encouraging broad attention to multiple objects is the best way to reduce change deafness.

TL;DR: For instance, the authors found that older adults showed stronger synchronization to slow-onset, rapid-offset (ramped) envelopes, as well as a more sinusoidal neural response shape.
