Ellis, D. A., Towse, J., Brown, O., Cork, A., Davidson, B. I., Devereux, S., Hinds, J., Ivory, M., Nightingale, S., Piwek, L., Shaw, L. and Towse, A. S. (online first). Assessing computational reproducibility in Behavior Research Methods. Behavior Research Methods.

We refer to this as a 'preregistered report'. However, this should be considered a 'Registered Report' (RR). That said, the distinction between RRs, Registered Replications Reports, and study preregistration is a common source of confusion.  In line with an RR format, the manuscript was reviewed in two stages based on our plans before conducting the research and again following a complete manuscript with the results. We publically preregistered our design and analysis (a minority of RRs do not involve public preregistration). However, unlike most RRs, the manuscript was not published in 2 stages.

Four numbers in Table 2 were rounded to two decimal places instead of one. These (and a handful of typographical errors) have been corrected in the post-print.

On page 94, the description of Ziepert et al. (2021) in the Recommended Reading section should refer to ‘state’ rather than ‘behavioral’ variables.

On page, 11, ‘reduced by 238%’ should read ‘reduced two-fold’.

The mean value of objective notifications (ObjN) in the Supplementary Materials should read 144.73 and not 114.73. This has been corrected in the post-print.

The percentage reported on page 585 (4.6%) should have been rounded to two decimal places (4.55%) to remain consistent with other results.

At the bottom of page 12, the direction of reported p value should read less than “<“ (rather than greater). The statistical values and interpretation remain correct.

The statistic reported below Table 3 on page 730 [X2(1) = 4.46, p = 0.04], should read [X2(1) = 3.39, p = 0.06]. The meaning of the preceding sentence remains correct.
