• Learning loss due to school closures during the COVID-19 pandemic (2021, positive): “To identify the model components that exert the most influence on the magnitude of estimates we assessed more than 2,000 alternative models in a specification curve analysis (44) (SI Appendix, section 7.”
• Rhythmic visual stimulation as a window into early brain development: A systematic review (2023, background): “Meanwhile, researchers may consider specification curve analysis to identify the consequences of specific analysis decisions and base inferences on results derived across all theoretically justifiable specifications (Simonsohn et al., 2020).”
