The New Heuristics\, and Good Stati stics
Scientific reform in the last decade has led t o a wide range of proposed changes in how we design\, analyse\, report\, an d publish scientific findings. As the implementation of better research pra ctices spreads through the scientific community\, there is a risk of merely changing old flawed heuristics with new flawed heuristics. In this talk\, I will discuss some examples of norms scientists rely on when they design a nd analyse studies\, and that editors rely on when evaluating work\, withou t knowing why these norms exist\, even though these norms often make no sen se. I’ll discuss some practices that go against norms\, but would improve h ow we do science. I’ll also offer some reflections on what would be needed to improve scientists’ strong reliance on norms\, and look forward to heari ng your thoughts on this challenge.

Dr. Daniël Lakens' areas of expertise include me ta-science\, research methods and applied statistics. Daniël’s main lines o f empirical research focus on conceptual thought\, similarity\, and meaning . He also focuses on how to design and interpret studies\, applied (meta)-s tatistics\, and reward structures in science. A large part of his work deal s with developing methods for critically reviewing and optimally structurin g studies.
Daniël has a background in experimental psychologist and r eceived his PhD. from Utrecht University in 2010. Daniël’s research is fund ed by an NWO VIDI grant for a project that aims to improve the reliability and efficiency of psychological science. He has also convinced NWO to start a pilot project with grants dedicated to replication research. He teaches an online MOOC on ‘Improving Your Statistical Inferences’\, and won a TU/e Teacher of the Year award in 2014. He has given over 40 workshops on open s cience and improving research practices\, co-edited a special issue consist ing of pre-registered replication studies with Brian Nosek.
Ann ually the Department of Psychology hosts a Colloquia Series throughout the academic year. Th is exciting program brings us together outside of the classroom to have con versations with the speakers we’ve invited to our campus to share their ide as. You’ll have the chance to hear from international speakers on a wide ra nge of provocative topics.
