When is direct replication needed?
Direct replication is important where one first needs to test whether the original effect itself is replicated when the design and conditions are replicated as closely as possible.
Comparability and differences in replication
For replication to be meaningful, you need to understand in advance which design elements must remain the same and which changes are permissible without losing meaning.
Why conceptual replication is needed
Conceptual replication tests whether an idea remains stable when the sample, stimuli, or context changes, and thereby shows the limits of applicability of the result.

# Прямая и концептуальная репликация Прямая репликация повторяет исходный дизайн максимально близко, а концептуальная проверяет ту же идею на другой выборке или в другой постановке, чтобы оценить устойчивость вывода. Эта тема раскрывает узел "Репликация исследований" и нужна для того, чтобы карта не заканчивалась общим названием без внутренней структуры.
