Big Team Science projects like ManyBabies work best if many people contribute, you can get involved here: manybabies.org/get_involved/ or reach out to @hbaum.bsky.social
Then they compared their results to a traditional meta-analysis and MetaLab's community-augmented meta-analysis (langcog.github.io/metalab/), finding that the replications had much more homogeneous effect sizes and different moderators. (sorry, all of these slides are really exciting)
For example, for ManyBabies 1 ("Do babies prefer infant-directed speech vs. adult-directed speech?"), they tested >2K babies with 149 authors from 16 countries. The hypothesis could be confirmed - but there was also a methods effect and lots of variability through age and language.
@chbergma.bsky.social is now discussing replications versus meta-analyses in the context of infant studies. For example, at @manybabies.org, researchers are teaming up to promote open science and replications.

#Multiverse analyses turn #uncertainty into #insight.
At @manybabies.org , we walked through our #MB2 #Pupillometry multiverse: how labs can merge their analysis while celebrating diversity in methods, and why that’s a win for science 🌍✨ #CollaborativeScience
