Overview: This is the OSF project page for a psychology graduate seminar held in the spring of 2020 at the University of Victoria, BC., Canada, with Steve Lindsay as instructor, grad students Alison Campbell, Cole Tamburri, and Eric Mah, and undergrad student Kelly Grannon. The course (PSYC 576A) combined in-depth exploration of a current topic in the cognitive psychology of human memory with training on methodological reforms aimed at promoting transparency and replicability. In the first two weeks of the semester we worked on selecting a recently reported empirical result in the domain of the cognitive psychology of human memory to attempt to replicate by the end of the semester. Each student proposed at least one candidate study by the third class session. Candidates for replication had to be unambiguously minimal risk ethically, and it had to be feasible to conduct the replication in a few months. We anticipated that it would probably be a computer-based procedure that takes no more than 30 minutes, collects no personal information beyond bare-bones demographics, and involves benign materials and tasks that are not stressful or otherwise unpleasant. Once we had agreed on our replication target (Popp & Serra, 2016, Experiment 1) we moved forward on (a) applying current best-practice approaches to preparing and conducting the replication and (b) reading and discussing cognitive psychology literature relevant to the target finding. Students collaborated on a preregistered research plan, data pipelines, analyses, and a write-up that puts the replication in context (both the context of methodological reform and whatever substantive theoretical context surrounds the particular effect in question). We aim to prepare our materials in ways that will make them transparent and useful to other scientists.
