The incentive of all psychology researchers is to do new work rather than replications. Because of this, publicly-funded psychology PhDs should be required to perform study replication as part of their training. Protocol + results should be put in a database.

I can't help chuckling at the idea that over 1.98 * 10^87 people were involved in the paper.

famous cognitive psychology experiments that do replicate: IQ tests
in fact, the foundational statistical models considered the gold standard for statistics today were developed for this testing.

i wonder the replication rate is for ML papers

One thing that confuses me is that some of these papers were successfully replicated, so juxtaposing them to the ones that have not been replicated at all given the title of the page feels a bit off. Not sure if fair.
The ego depletion effect seems intuitively surprising to me. Science is often unintuitive. I do know that it is easier to make forward-thinking decisions when I am not tired so I dont know.

The idea isn't that it is easier to do things when not tired. It is that you specifically get tired exercising self control.
I think that can be subtly confused by people thinking you can't get better at self control with practice? That is, I would think a deliberate practice of doing more and more self control every day should build up your ability to do more self control. And it would be easy to think that that means you have a stamina for self control that depletes in the same way that aerobic fitness can work. But, those don't necessarily follow each other.
Wow, what are the odds?
