Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Direct replication involves duplicating a study with the same methods, measures, and conditions as closely as possible, in order to see if the same findings occur. In this case, Bryce is using the same graphing technique with another patient, which is a direct replication of his previous study. Transfer replication involves duplicating a study in a different setting or population, while systematic replication involves making modifications to the original study to test different aspects or variables. Clinical replication is not a recognized type of replication in research methodology.
