Assessing biases in and the reliability of comparative cognition research

布景主题：生物科学对健康动物认知的研究对地球仪的动物健康和福利政策有影响，除了进一步了解动物的思想。科学正面临可复制性危机，许多成果难以复制。论文发表的压力和学术激励结构导致研究人员进行低权力研究、追求意义和过度推销其成果，这对科学成果的有效性产生了负面影响。我的项目使用各种方法（理论，调查，二级数据分析，原始数据收集）来评估动物认知研究中的偏见和可复制性的状态和后果。

Theme: Bioscience for HealthAnimal cognition research has implications for animal health and welfare policy across the globe, in addition to furthering our understanding of animals minds. Science is facing replicability crisis, with many results struggling to replicate. The pressure to publish and academic incentive structure leads to researchers performing low-power research, fishing for significance and over-selling their results, which has negative consequences for the validity of scientific results. My project uses a variety of methods (theoretical, survey, secondary data analysis, primary data collection) to assess the status and consequences of bias and replicability in animal cognition research.
