Question

Roediger and McDermott (1995) conducted a study involving a paradigm initially developed by Deese (1959), which produces false recall of a word when a participant is given a list of words to recall that centers on a particular word but does not include it. For example, if participants were given a list that included sandal, towel, sunscreen, and waves, then they would falsely remember the word beach even though it was not on the list. They did two studies based on Deese's original study. In the first, they used the same word lists Deese used; in the second experiment, they used new sets of stimulus words. Which is the term for the second study they ran?a. direct replicationb. meta-analysis replicationc. conceptual replicationd. replication-plus-extension

Answer 1

C) conceptual replication

Step-by-step explanation:

Conceptual replication refers to new tests or studies carried on by researchers which re-test the same hypothesis as a previous study or test, but use different populations, or different variables or even different study designs.

In this case, Roediger and McDermott re-tested Deese's study in order to prove his hypothesis, but changed the the stimulus words (variables).
