16 primates is not small when it comes to primate studies. In any case, knowing how expensive and rare primate research is to conduct, I doubt this is the first animal model used on this approach.
In terms of replicatability, it is also not always the sample size, it is the effect size. Small samples do affect ability to generalize, but the point is that sample size isn't everything.
- JumpCrisscross 1y ago> its the effect size Which effect size do you find lacking?
- SubiculumCode 1y agoI was responding to the idea that listing a small sample size automatically means its shit science.
- JumpCrisscross 1y agoOh, absolutely correct. Small study doesn't mean shit science. It just means there is plenty of room for randomness and hidden variables to create havoc on the way to a treatment.
