One of the ways to make it easier for students to


choose their IA experiment for replication is to give
them a limited menu of choices. By giving them a
menu of options, it guarantees that you are familiar
with the studies that they are going to replicate and
you know that you can access the original study.

Below is an example of an IA menu with the file


attached.
