Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN readers link NeuroChambers for commentary on psychology research practice, including whether novelty should outweigh truth in publishing and whether conceptual replications count as evidence.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

HN discussionAbsolutely. But outside of Social Psychology there are strong, genuine disagreements --to say the least-- on whether "conceptual" replications are a valid source of converging evidence at all. See for instance [1,2] for typical reactions. [1] http://neurochambers.blogspot.com/2012/03/you-cant-replicate... [2] http://psycnet.apa.org/journals/gpr/13/2/90/
