Laypeople Can Predict Which Social-Science Studies Will Be Replicated Successfully

Can Bartlett's repeated reproduction experiments be replicated?

Surprisingly, Bartlett's (1932) famous repeated reproduction experiments, in which he found systematically increasing errors in recall from the same people tested over time, have never been successfully replicated. Several studies have attempted partial replications, which were unsuccessful, and their authors concluded that the original observations might not be replicable. We conducted a study...

Can ultrasonography or uroflowmetry predict which children with voiding dysfunction will have recurrent urinary tract infections?

PURPOSE It has been suggested that in children with voiding dysfunction improper bladder emptying contributes to recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs) and progressive renal scarring. Incomplete bladder emptying may be related to bladder-sphincter dyssynergia. Ultrasonography and uroflowmetry are used in the initial evaluation of many children with voiding dysfunction. We determine in childr...

Can We Predict Which Adolescents Will Engage in Outpatient Substance Abuse Treatment?

Understanding which adolescents remain in substance abuse treatment may facilitate the development of effective strategies for enhancing engagement and retention. Using clinical service data from a large naturalistic sample of adolescents, we examined whether client characteristics predict retention in outpatient alcohol and other drug (AOD) treatment. χ2 tests and multinomial logistic regressi...

Can Blood Gene Expression Predict Which Patients with Multiple Sclerosis Will Respond to Interferon?

0105 Perspectives D espite the signifi cant progress in increasing our understanding of the immune mechanisms of multiple sclerosis (MS), in improving clinical classifi cation and brain imaging, and in developing new treatments, the factors that determine the course of the disease are mostly unknown [1]. Currently, it is nearly impossible to predict the course of MS, its severity in terms of di...
