Terms crit Flashcards
Optional stopping
Checking results to decide whether to stop (p hacking isch)
Multiple comparisons
Noisiness in data increases, type 1 error increases. Chance of finding sig result bigger but not really valid
Confirmatory research
Pretty good idea about what outcome will be. (not a flat line in bayesian)
Exploratory research
Not previously studied, not a good idea of what the outcome will be
Conditional replication
Different set up but same concept. confirm whether the theoretical idea behind the findings is true, and under what conditions these findings will occur. How generalizable
Direct replication
Same study different participants. Reliability of the research
Motivated skeptisism
The mistake of applying more skepticism to claims that you don’t like (or intuitively disbelieve), than to claims that you do like.
4 foolers Nuzzo
Texas Shooter - Drawing circle after shooting. Further research after seeing some result.
Hypothesis myopia - confirmation bias, looking for evidence for your hyp
Just-so story telling/jarking. Justifying after results are known. Post hoc story
Assymetric attention: happens when we give expected results a relatively free pass, but we rigorously check non-intuitive results
