![]() ![]() ![]() Reproducibility is often used as a test of the reliability of an experiment. The purposes of reproducing experiments include checking of claimed precision and uncovering of any systematic errors that may affect accuracy from one or other experiments/groups. Reproducibility refers to the closeness of agreement between independent results obtained with the same method on identical test material but under different conditions (different operators, different apparatus and/or different laboratories). Repeatability refers to the closeness of agreement between independent results obtained with the same method on identical test material, under the same conditions (same operator, same apparatus and/or same laboratory). Replication of procedures: repeatability and reproducibilityĮxperimental data and results must be more than one-off findings and should be repeatable and reproducible to draw reasonable conclusions. ![]() An understanding of the terms ‘accuracy’ and ‘precision’ may also be important in the analysis and discussion of investigations of a quantitative nature. VCE Psychology requires that students can distinguish between and apply the terms ‘repeatability’, ‘reproducibility’, ‘reliability’ and ‘validity’ when analysing their own and others’ investigation findings. ![]()
