Answer :
McCabe and Castel conducted experiments to assess whether a brain image influenced the way students perceived the quality of a scientific article. When other experimenters attempted to replicate the results of the study, they found that the results did not replicate
When other experimenters attempted to replicate the results of McCabe and Castel's study, they found that the results did not replicate. This indicates that the original findings of McCabe and Castel's experiment could not be consistently reproduced under the same experimental conditions by other researchers. This lack of replication suggests that there may have been limitations, errors, or other factors influencing the original study's results.
The other incorrect options are
Option (b) "that McCabe and Castel has falsely reported the results of the experiment" is incorrect because there is no indication or evidence provided to suggest that McCabe and Castel deliberately falsified the results of their experiment. Accusations of falsification should not be made without substantial evidence.
Option (c) "similar results" is incorrect because the question specifically states that other experimenters attempted to replicate the results but found that they did not replicate. Therefore, similar results were not obtained in the replication attempts.
Option (d) "that the McCabe and Castel results translated only to other college-student populations" is incorrect because there is no information provided in the question to suggest that the results were limited to specific populations. The lack of replication suggests that the original results may have been influenced by factors other than the characteristics of the participant population.
The complete Question is
McCabe and Castel conducted experiments to assess whether a brain image influenced the way students perceived the quality of a scientific article. When other experimenters attempted to replicate the results of the study, they found
a. that the results did not replicate
b. that McCabe and Castel has falsely reported the results of the experiment
c. similar results
d. that the McCabe and Castel results translated only to other college-student populations
When other experimenter's attempted to replicate the results of the study, they found that the images of the brain did not influenced the way students perceived the quality of a scientific article.
McCabe and Castle Experiment-
McCabe and Castle wrote three scientific article. He wanted to check whether the same area of the brain is active for both the TV and Arithmetic processes. One article contained brain images, other contained bar graph and last one had no illustration in it.
He asked 156 college students to read that article and asked them to rate how much they sense scientifically. The article was rated by the students based on the accuracy, quality and title.
The main reason for this hypothesis was the students should rate the article with brain image higher than that of one with bar graph and no illustration in it.
They concluded from their study that, the students rated the scientific articles higher when it contained brain images.
When other researchers tried to replicate the same experiment they found that there was no effect on people's judgement due to presence of the brain images.
Therefore, the answer is the brain images did not influenced the people's opinion.
