| Brief Statement of Original Result | Observers remembered more colors when the presences of colors were not independent of each other. |
| Type of Replication Attempted | Fairly Exact Replication |
| Result Type | Successful Replication |
| Difference? | Same Direction, 0.001 |
| Number of Subjects | 40 |
| Number of Subjects in Original Study | |
| Year in which Replication Attempt was Made | 2011 |
| Name of Investigators (Real Names Required) | Liqiang Huang |
| Detailed Description of Method/Results |
8 items of 8 different colors were presented. For each subject, these colors randomly form 4 frequent pairs (2 colors/pair). In block 1-7, each display include 2 familiar pairs and the other 4 colors are randomly distributed. In block 8-10, all 8 colors are randomly distributed. It was found that the number of memorized colors indeed benefit significantly from the covariance of colors. This replicated the original finding. |
| Any Known Methodological Differences (between original and present study)? | I tried a fairly exact replication. Some details (e.g., sizes and arrangements of items, exact color appearance) are different. But given this is a successful replication, these do not matter too much. |
