I refer you to an article by Jonah Lehrer, “The Truth Wears off”
--published in the New Yorker a month or so ago, according to which "overshadowing"
has suffered from what Schooler and others have called the “decline effect”
-- the seeming regularity with which previously strong research fin
dings fall by the wayside when scientists try to replicate them.
We may need to treat it with a degree of caution.
