A replication that requires replication: Commentary on Caton et al. (2022)

Abstract

This paper comments on Caton et al's (2022) direct replication of Třebický et al (2013) . In this commentary, we provide our reflections on several points raised by this direct replication. Specifically, we focus on three main areas: i) a critique of the stimuli used, ii) analytic decisions taken in the original study, and iii) shape analysis of the direct replication.
