Commensurability engineering is first and foremost a theoretical exercise

Behav Brain Sci. 2024 Feb 5;47:e63. doi: 10.1017/S0140525X23002224.ABSTRACTI provide a personal perspective on metastudies and emphasize lesser-known benefits. I stress the need for integrative theories to establish commensurability between experiments. I argue that mathematical social scientists should be engaged to develop integrative theories, and that likelihood functions provide a common mathematical framework across experiments. The development of quantitative theories promotes commensurability engineering on a larger scale.PMID:38311454 | DOI:10.1017/S0140525X23002224
