Is mental imagery a single process?
Our meta-analysis of 46 fMRI studies suggests not.
We find a key divide between object imagery (visualizing an object in rich detail) and spatial imagery (mentally transforming objects).
This split mirrors the ventral and dorsal streams of vision
In a number comparison task, the size effect is, in fact, at least three distinct size effects with three corresponding generators. See more details about the anatomy of the number comparison size effect at doi.org/10.3758/s134...

The Approximate Number System account assumes an imprecise mechanism behind the precise symbolic number comparison. This leads to various contradictions in the model. Read more about it at osf.io/6m4zw.
Do researchers share their code upon request? Does running their orginal code on the original data produce the original results? We provide evidence in a new Royal Society Open Science publication. Studying more than 1,000 articles which use data from the European Social Survey, we find that... 🧵

Comparing registrations to published papers is essential to research integrity - and almost no one does it routinely because it's slow, messy, and time-demanding.
RegCheck was built to help make this process easier.
Today, we launch RegCheck V2.
