Commentary on “Robust modeling in cognitive science”: What do the rules for the wrong game tell us about how to play the right game?
journal contribution
posted on 2023-05-22, 03:47 authored by Heathcote, AJPsychological science has rightly become worried about questionable practices in experimental research, with a range of recent suggestions being made about remedies for this “replication crisis”. To avoid similar problems in psychological-process modelling, Lee et al. (in review) propose ingenious adaptions of these remedies along with insightful new suggestions. Although in the main applauding of these developments, I question whether some of the lessons drawn from the replication crisis are applicable, particularly with respect to the confirmatory vs. exploratory dichotomy given the intrinsically explanatory nature of most psychological-process models.
