- The burden of secrecy? No effect on hill slant estimation and beanbag throwing, Pecher et al. (2015). Journal of Experimental Psychology: General. Outcome recorded: failed.
In 2 experiments, we tried to replicate this finding, but, despite larger power, did not find a difference in slant estimates between participants who recalled a big secret and those who recalled a small secret.
Outcome read from the abstract. View paper - Big secrets do not necessarily cause hills to appear steeper, LeBel & Wilbur (2013). Psychonomic Bulletin & Review. Outcome recorded: failed.
In both samples, we were unsuccessful in replicating the target finding.
