ManyBabies: A global consortium working on large-scale replications and best practices in developmental science

Heidi Baumgartner

Infant research faces all the same issues that negatively affect replicability and reproducibility in psychology at large. In addition, it deals with a vulnerable population that is challenging to recruit and not terribly compliant once in the lab. These factors potentially increase noise and pose challenges for obtaining adequate sample sizes. ManyBabies (https://manybabies.github.io), a network of over 500 researchers across 46 countries on 6 continents, attempts to address these challenges while investigating fundamental questions in early cognitive development. ManyBabies a) Conducts conceptual replications of key findings, b) Uses consensus-based approaches to design studies that robustly test theories, c) works to improve the diversity of researchers, research questions, and participants, and d) promotes transparent research practices such as pre-registration and sharing of stimuli, data, and code. I will give an overview of our mission, organizing principles, and completed and ongoing projects.
