Mar 1, 2021 · In practice, however, cumulative self-correction tends to proceed less efficiently than one might naively suppose. Far from evaluating new evidence dispassionately and infallibly, individual scientists often cling stubbornly to prior findings. Here we explore the dynamics of scientific self-correction at an individual rather than collective level.
Mar 13, 2018 · Good self-correction depends on your response to new evidence—do you change your mind or dig your heels in?
Adults can use different strategies to encourage self-correction in children. One method is to ask them to read aloud. Instead of interrupting them at the point of error, the adults should allow them to read to the end of the sentence.
Far from evaluating new evidence dispassionately and infallibly, individual scientists often cling stubbornly to prior findings. Here the authors explore the dynamics of scientific self-correction at an individual rather than collective level.
Self-correction is one of the hallmarks of science, but it's been slow to work in psychology. How can the field become the self-correcting science it aspires to be?
Dec 12, 2018 · One of the most straightforward mechanisms is individual self-correction: researchers rectifying their own mistakes by publishing a correction notice.

Does scientific self-correction occur at an individual or collective level?
What is cumulative self-correction?
Should scientific self-correction be beneficial for the scientific community?
Can scientific self-correction be achieved through a reproducibility check?
Luckily, one of the core principles of science is its ability to self-correct. Traditionally, scientific self-correction is achieved through replication, but this takes time and resources; both of which are scarce. In this chapter, I argue for an additional, more efficient self-correction mechanism: analytical reproducibility checks.
