Dr.Grayson,a health psychologist,conducts a study examining whether people eat more when they are exposed to pictures of food than when they are not exposed to pictures of food.She goes to a fast-food restaurant in downtown Chicago that has pictures of menu items on its menu board and measures the amount of food ordered during the lunch rush (11:30 a.m.-1:30 p.m. )on Tuesday.On Thursday,she does the same thing but at a fast-food restaurant that does not have pictures on their menu board (about two blocks away from the first restaurant).She finds that the restaurant with pictures of food sells more food than the restaurant that does not have pictures.

-Dr.Grayson decides to conduct her study again,but in the new study,she studies people at a sit-down restaurant,and she manipulates whether the menu they use at the table has pictures or not.This is known as which of the following?
A)Statistical replication
B)Conceptual replication
C)Replication-plus-extension
D)Direct replication

Conceptual replication involves testing the same hypothesis but using different methods or procedures. In this case, Dr. Grayson is testing whether exposure to pictures of food affects food consumption, but is using a different setting (sit-down restaurant) and manipulating the presence of pictures in a different way (on the menu at the table). This allows for a deeper understanding of the phenomenon being studied. Statistical replication involves using the same methods to test the same hypothesis, replication-plus-extension involves adding new variables or conditions to a previous study, and direct replication involves exactly replicating a previous study.
