Replications

• Is Mental Effort Exertion Contagious? A Replication Study, Mazza et al. (2025). Journal of Cognition. Outcome recorded: failed. In both Experiment 1 (exact replication; N = 176) and Experiment 2 (more demanding joint Simon task; N = 120), we failed to replicate this result even though the manipulated participants adjusted their mental effort as expected. Outcome read from the abstract. View paper
