psychrev-argument-development

separate

Use when deriving predictions from a Psychological Review theory and confronting them with existing data and rival models — the journal's substitute for an empirical results section. Develops the argument; it does NOT build the model (psychrev-theory-construction) or set its scope and identifiability limits (psychrev-boundary-conditions).

When to use

• Deriving predictions from model assumptions
• Confronting predictions with existing data
• Comparing predictions to rival models
• Identifying risky and novel predictions
• Separating signatures from accommodations
• Probing robustness of key results
• Addressing alternative explanations

When not to use

• Building the model
• Setting scope and identifiability limits
• Introducing a brand-new experiment as deciding evidence
