Abstract
The progression of scientific knowledge requires replication of research results and an orderly accumulation of research knowledge. However, developmental science, like many other sciences, has too often prioritized individual studies at the expense of replication and synthesis efforts. In this chapter, I describe the concepts of replication and research accumulation and consider both their barriers and potentials for developmental science. I emphasize the importance of considering effect sizes rather than statistical significance, and I describe meta-analysis as a powerful tool in facilitating research accumulation and in guiding replication efforts. By considering advancement in terms of research accumulation rather than single studies, developmental science can achieve greater efficiency and precision to guide both future research and applied efforts.
期刊介绍：
Since 1935, Monographs of the Society for Research in Child Development has been a platform for presenting in-depth research studies and significant findings in child development and related disciplines. Each issue features a single study or a collection of papers on a unified theme, often complemented by commentary and discussion. In alignment with all Society for Research in Child Development (SRCD) publications, the Monographs facilitate the exchange of data, techniques, research methods, and conclusions among development specialists across diverse disciplines. Subscribing to the Monographs series also includes a full subscription (6 issues) to Child Development, the flagship journal of the SRCD, and Child Development Perspectives, the newest journal from the SRCD.
