Discussion topic: The Ideal of Preregistration and what warrants it

Paper Presented (Draft): Peikert, A., & Brandmaier, A. M.(2023). Why does preregistration increase the persuasiveness of evidence? A Bayesian rationalization. https://aaronpeikert.github.io/bayes-prereg/manuscript.pdf

Abstract: The replication crisis spurned many researchers to preregister their analyses before acquiring data. However, there is no agreement on what preregistration should accomplish and why it is uniquely suited to these goals. A widespread view is that preregistration should limit how much the data may influence the hypotheses tested on the same data (i.e., restrict researchers' degrees of freedom)). If no such influence occurs, an analysis is generally considered confirmatory. Consequently, many researchers believe that only confirmatory studies benefit from preregistration.

In this presentation, Aaron Peikert argues that limiting preregistration to confirmatory research is unnecessarily restrictive. To that end, he will suggest how to formalize the objective of preregistration and aim to demonstrate that exploratory studies also benefit from the practice. Lastly, implications for the practice of preregistration will be discussed.
