Abstract

This paper presents a case study of a conceptual replication study. We replicated the famous and widely cited task presented in Falkner et al. (1999), 8+4=__+5. In contrast to the original study, we administered the task with the same age group (Grade 6) in a different system (Denmark) and via a large-scale online learning environment (OLE), with a larger sample and two decades later. Our replication indicates that the Danish students performed very significantly better than the students in the original study. We discuss why this is the case and argue that OLEs such as the one we used provide an important opportunity to replicate, and thus better understand, similar results.
