Commentary by Dijksterhuis, author of original study on behaviour priming that failed to replicate in most recent @RegReports, falls into usual post hoc explanations and lack of falsifiability. 1/n psychologicalscience.org/redesign/wp-co… #replicability #opensciecne
All degrees of freedom that are required to make the effect significant post hoc were foreseeable a priori. Eg exclude those who reporting being suspicious of the study's intent. If this data was collected + the original theory state it's an unconscious effect, 2/n
