Deciding what to replicate: A decision model for replication study selection under resource and knowledge constraints. Open

Peder Mortvedt Isager, Robbie C. M. van Aert, Štěpán Bahník, Mark J. Brandt, K. Andrew DeSoto , et al. · 2021

Robust scientific knowledge is contingent upon replication of original findings. However, replicating researchers are constrained by resources, and will almost always have to choose one replication effort to focus on from a set of potentia…

Collective memory for American leaders: Measuring recognition for the names and faces of the US presidents Open

Psychology Data on the Effects of Study Schedules on Category-Member Classification Open

K. Andrew DeSoto, Cecilia Votta · 2016

Subjects ('N' = 100) studied a series of 6 natural exemplars (birds) from each of 12 different categories (families). Birds were presented in one of 4 ways: (1) blocked by category; (2) intermixed; (3) first blocked, then intermixed; or (4…

Study preferences for exemplar variability in self-regulated category learning Open

Christopher N. Wahlheim, K. Andrew DeSoto · 2016

Increasing exemplar variability during category learning can enhance classification of novel exemplars from studied categories. Four experiments examined whether participants preferred variability when making study choices with the goal of…

Recognizing the Presidents: Was Alexander Hamilton President? Open

Henry L. Roediger, K. Andrew DeSoto · 2016

Studies over the past 40 years show that Americans can recall about half the U.S. presidents. Do people know the presidents but are simply unable to access them for recall? We asked this question using the powerful cues of a recognition te…
