A response to a comment on Hall et al. (2024)

In their replication of Turri et al. (2015; Experiment 1), Hall et al. (2024) identified a key condition difference that was not observed in the original experiment. In their commentary, Buckwalter and Friedman (2024) posited that the evidence presented by Hall et al. should be interpreted as fully replicating Turri et al. While Hall et al. may have observed a similar effect size as the one they calculated from Turri et al.’s data, they did not replicate Turri et al.’s statistical results, and their findings were not consistent with Turri et al.’s claims from Experiment 1. Further, Hall et al. presented a nuanced discussion of their findings that acknowledged many of Buckwalter and Friedman critiques. We opine that, through selectively referencing portions of Hall et al.’s results, Buckwalter and Friedman mischaracterize the key findings and conclusions of Hall et al.
