An academic scientist's professional success depends on publishing. Publishing norms emphasize novel, positive results. As such, disciplinary incentives encourage design, analysis, and reporting decisions that elicit results ignore negative Prior reports demonstrate how these inflate the rate of false effects in published science. When favor novelty over replication, persist literature unchallenged, reducing efficiency knowledge accumulation. Previous suggestions to address this problem are...
Open access, open data, source and other scholarship practices are growing in popularity necessity. However, widespread adoption of these has not yet been achieved. One reason is that researchers uncertain about how sharing their work will affect careers. We review literature demonstrating research associated with increases citations, media attention, potential collaborators, job opportunities funding opportunities. These findings evidence bring significant benefits to relative more...
Psychological scientists have recently started to reconsider the importance of close replications in building a cumulative knowledge base; however, there is no consensus about what constitutes convincing replication study. To facilitate attempts we developed Replication Recipe, outlining standard criteria for replication. Our Recipe can be used by researchers, teachers, and students conduct meaningful studies integrate into their scholarly habits.

Reproducibility is a defining feature of science, but the extent to which it characterizes current research unknown. We conducted replications 100 experimental and correlational studies published in three psychology journals using high-powered designs original materials when available. Replication effects were half magnitude effects, representing substantial decline. Ninety-seven percent had statistically significant results. Thirty-six results; 47% effect sizes 95% confidence interval...
When people speak with one another, they tend to adapt their head movements and facial expressions in response each others' expressions. We present an experiment which confederates' were motion tracked during videoconference conversations, avatar face was reconstructed real time, naive participants spoke the face. No participant guessed that computer generated not video. Confederates' expressions, vocal inflections attenuated at 1 min intervals a fully crossed experimental design. Attenuated...
Psychological scientists have recently started to reconsider the importance of close replications in building a cumulative knowledge base; however, there is not consensus about what constitutes convincing replication study. To facilitate and attempts we developed Replication Recipe, outlining standard criteria for replication. This includes faithfully recreating original study while keeping track differences, achieving high statistical power, checking study’s assumptions new contexts,...
In order to increase the replicability of scientific work, community has called for practices designed transparency research (McNutt, 2014; Nosek et al., 2015). The validity a claim depends not on reputation those making claim, venue in which is made, or novelty result, but rather empirical evidence provided by underlying data and methods. Proper evaluation merits findings requires availability methods, materials, reasoned argument that serve as basis published conclusions (Claerbout...
Nonverbal visual cues accompany speech to supplement the meaning of spoken words, signify emotional state, indicate position in discourse, and provide back-channel feedback. This information includes head movements, facial expressions body gestures. In this article we describe techniques for manipulating both verbal nonverbal gestures video sequences people engaged conversation. We are developing a system use psychological experiments, where effects individual components behavior during live...
During conversation, women tend to nod their heads more frequently and vigorously than men. An individual speaking with a woman tends his or her head when man. Is this due social expectation coupled motion dynamics between the speakers? We present novel methodology that allows us randomly assign apparent identity during free conversation in video-conference, thereby dissociating sex from dynamics. The method uses motion-tracked synthesized avatars are accepted by naive participants as being...
Parkinson's disease (PD) is characterised by difficulty with the timing of movements. Data collected using synchronization-continuation paradigm, an established motor have produced varying results but most studies finding impairment. Some this inconsistency comes from variation in medication state tested, inter-stimulus intervals (ISI) selected, and changeable focus on either synchronization (tapping time a tone) or continuation (maintaining rhythm absence phase. We sought to re-visit...

There currently exists a gap between scientific values and practices. This is strongly tied to the current incentive structure that rewards publication over accurate science. Other problems associated with this include reconstructing exploratory narratives as confirmatory, file drawer effect, an overall lack of archiving sharing, singular contribution model - through which credit obtained. A solution these increased disclosure, transparency, openness. The Open Science Framework...
In response to recommendations redefine statistical significance p ≤ .005, we propose that researchers should transparently report and justify all choices they make when designing a study, including the alpha level.
<ns4:p>In the 21st Century, research is increasingly data- and computation-driven. Researchers, funders, larger community today emphasize traits of openness reproducibility. In March 2017, 13 mostly early-career leaders who are building their careers around these came together with ten university (presidents, vice presidents, provosts), representatives from four funding agencies, eleven organizers other stakeholders in an NIH- NSF-funded one-day, invitation-only workshop titled "Imagining...

Small digital video cameras have become increasingly common, appearing on portable consumer devices such as cellular phones. The widespread use of video-conferencing, however, is limited in part by the lack bandwidth available devices. Also, video-conferencing can produce feelings discomfort conversants due to a co-presence. Current techniques increase co-presence are not practical market costly and elaborate equipment required (such stereoscopic displays multicamera arrays). To address...
