- The model is built but you have not shown what it *predicts*
Psychological Review has no experiment of its own as the contribution. The work that an empirical paper does with data, a Review paper does with derivation and confrontation: you derive predictions from the model's assumptions, then confront them with already- existing evidence and with what rival models predict. Logical and quantitative soundness is the rigor standard, exactly as statistical inference is at empirical journals.
【Derivations】[phenomenon → how it follows from assumptions] for each
【Signatures vs. accommodations】[risky/novel predictions] | [fitted accommodations]
【Confrontation】existing data used; free-parameter count; fit vs. generalization
【Head-to-head】[diagnostic phenomenon → your prediction vs. rival's vs. data]
【Robustness】key results stable over parameter/form range: yes / fix
【Next step】psychrev-boundary-conditions (scope, identifiability, what it does NOT explain)
npx claudepluginhub brycewang-stanford/awesome-journal-skills --plugin psychological-review-skillsPositions a Psychological Review manuscript within its theoretical conversation by naming rival models and diagnostic phenomena. Use when reviewers will ask "how is this different from X?"
Structures formal/computational models for Cognitive Psychology manuscripts. Derives discriminating predictions that separate your account from rival models to avoid 'just a curve fit' objections.
Guides writing the theory and hypotheses section for Psychological Science manuscripts, ensuring clear separation of confirmatory (preregistered) vs exploratory analyses and preventing HARKing.
