Replications
- Correcting the past: Failures to replicate psi, Galak et al. (2012). Outcome recorded: failed.
We failed to replicate that finding.
View paper - Failing the Future: Three Unsuccessful Attempts to Replicate Bem's 'Retroactive Facilitation of Recall' Effect, Ritchie et al. (2012). Outcome recorded: failed.
All three replication attempts failed to produce significant effects (combined n = 150; combined p = .83, one-tailed) and thus do not support the existence of psychic ability.
View paper - Metascientific replication project with the advanced meta-experimental protocol of the transparent psi project procedures for testing the precognitive effect claimed by Bem, Walleczek et al. (2025). Outcome recorded: mixed.
Study 1 failed to replicate the precognitive effect. Study 2 confirmed this exploratory result using a high-powered replication design.
View paper - Failure to replicate retrocausal recall, Barušs & Rabier (2014). Outcome recorded: failed.
We found no evidence for retroactive facilitation of recall and no correlations of the difference score with any personality measures.
View paper - Two Replication Studies of a Time-Reversed (Psi) Priming Task and the Role of Expectancy in Reaction Times, Schlitz et al. (2021). Outcome recorded: failed.
In sum, the pre-registered confirmatory hypotheses were not supported.
View paper - An Agenda for Purely Confirmatory Research, Wagenmakers et al. (2012). Outcome recorded: failed.
It is clear that the evidence in favor of H0 increases as more participants are tested and the number of sessions increases. With the default prior, the data are 16.6 times more likely under H0 than under H1; with the "knowledge-based prior" from Bem, Utts, and Johnson (2011), the data are 6.2 times
