False Positives and Other Statistical Errors in Standard Analyses of Eye Movements in Reading.

TLDR
A computational investigation of the various types of statistical errors than can occur in studies of reading behavior using Monte Carlo simulations shows that, contrary to conventional wisdom, false positives are increased to unacceptable levels when no corrections are applied.

Incidental vocabulary learning in a natural reading context: an eye-tracking study

TL;DR: This article used eye tracking to explore how the processing of unfamiliar words changes with repeated exposure and how the repeated exposure, processing and processing affect word learning, and found that the number of exposures was the strongest predictor of vocabulary learning.

The statistical significance filter leads to overoptimistic expectations of replicability

TL;DR: The authors conducted seven direct replication attempts (268 participants in total) of a recent paper (Levy & Keller, 2013) and showed that the published claims are so noisy that even non-significant results are fully compatible with them.

Exploratory and Confirmatory Analyses in Sentence Processing: A Case Study of Number Interference in German

TL;DR: By implementing three changes in current practice that have the potential to deliver more realistic and robust claims, suggestive evidence emerges that is consistent with the predicted number interference effects in German.

Fitting Linear Mixed-Effects Models Using lme4

TL;DR: In this article, a model is described in an lmer call by a formula, in this case including both fixed-and random-effects terms, and the formula and data together determine a numerical representation of the model from which the profiled deviance or the profeatured REML criterion can be evaluated as a function of some of model parameters.

A Simple Sequentially Rejective Multiple Test Procedure

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and widely accepted multiple test procedure of the sequentially rejective type is presented, i.e. hypotheses are rejected one at a time until no further rejections can be done.

Random effects structure for confirmatory hypothesis testing: Keep it maximal

TL;DR: It is argued that researchers using LMEMs for confirmatory hypothesis testing should minimally adhere to the standards that have been in place for many decades, and it is shown thatLMEMs generalize best when they include the maximal random effects structure justified by the design.

Estimating the reproducibility of psychological science

Alexander A. Aarts, +290 more
- 28 Aug 2015 - 
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.
