    abstract = { Conducting  behavioral  experiments  online  has  become  more  prevalent  recently.  Still,  there  is  reluctance  to  embrace  the  possibilities  this  technology  has  to  offer.  So  far,  only  simple  tasks  have  been  replicated  in  an  online  setting. In order to investigate whether collecting online also leads to high quality data in demanding tasks, we directly compared data collected in the lab with data collected online from a demanding dual-task paradigm and a psychological refractory  period  paradigm.  In  Experiment  1,  we  recruited  from  local  pools,  online  and  offline;  in  Experiment  2,  we  collected lab data from our local pool and online data from a remote commercial participant platform. We found that all relevant effects were replicated in the lab and online settings; effect sizes were similar. Additionally, most response time  distributions  were  even  statistically  equivalent  when  comparing  online  and  lab  data.  Thus,  online  effect  sizes  and variances can be comparable to lab-based data. Online studies are time-efficient and recruiting an online sample instead or on top of a laboratory sample should be considered for basic behavioral research. This can serve an important role in the generalizability and replicability of findings in the cognitive and behavioral sciences. },
