STUDY GUIDE & PRACTICE TEST 2026/2027
Between Subject Design - ANS ✔✔a design in which different subjects take part in each condition of the
experiment
between subjects design - ANS ✔✔between all participants, all levels of the independent variables are
represented
Within Participants Design - ANS ✔✔within each participant all levels of the Independent variable are
represented
Within-subjects Design - ANS ✔✔a design in which each subject takes part in more than one condition
of the experiment
more groups you have, less effective and more difficult matching becomes - ANS ✔✔how does the
amount of groups in an experiment effect the effectiveness of matching?
effect sizes - ANS ✔✔smaller_____ need more participants
requires fewer participants
easier to detect effects (power)
-no extraneous participant variables
-like perfect matching - ANS ✔✔advantages of within subs design
not always:
possible
practical
not always easy - ANS ✔✔issues with within-subs design
order effects - ANS ✔✔changes in experience due to presented order of a condition (practice, fatigue)
carryover effects - ANS ✔✔effect of one condition continues into another condition
counterbalancing - ANS ✔✔spread interference effects evenly across conditions
progressive error - ANS ✔✔what does counterbalancing equate across conditions
conditions - ANS ✔✔progressive error increases as the number of what increases
reverse counterbalancing
block randomization - ANS ✔✔subject-by-subject counterbalancing
complete and partial counterbalancing procedures - ANS ✔✔
