DESCRIPTION:Because many strong theories make clear predictions\, in princi
 ple there may be no advantage to registering such a theory’s predictions
  in advance of data collection (Szollosi & Donkin\, 2021). Some researcher
 s have therefore argued that preregistration is not worthwhile (Szollosi e
 t al.\, 2020).  Yet psychologists have not prioritized the development of 
 strong theories\, or even the use of existing ones.  Can we do something a
 bout this? I will argue that preregistration is\, ironically\, an importan
 t part of the answer. Strong theories are underappreciated in part because
  of the scarcity of both the skills and the time required to determine tha
 t a theory is strong and makes clear predictions. But because everyone rec
 ognizes the value of correct predictions\, preregistration can help strong
  theories rise to the top. However\, additional practices such as head-to-
 head comparisons of competing theories (Dutilh et al.\, 2018) may also be 
 necessary.
