If you are purchasing agent for a company that is considering
buying a printer from one of two companies, you might wish to
set up an experiment to test how easy the printers are to use.
The appropriate experimental design would probably be a
✓✓ Single variable two-level experiment.
A disadvantage of a single variable two-level experiment is that
✓✓ It is dangerous to guess the shape of a function from two
points.
One should be careful when extrapolating beyond the two
levels used in some single variable experiments because of
✓✓ Ceiling and floor effects
In order to have a functional experiment (end up with a
function) the minimum experimental design you can use is a
✓✓ Single variable, multilevel design
If your dependent variable is the number of items correctly
recalled from a 10-item word list, you could have potential
problems with
✓✓ Both floor and ceiling effects
, ACCURACY IS GUARANTEED
If you want to test a hypothesis that as a particular
independent variable increases it will cause a particular
dependent variable to increase, what would be the simplest
design that could be used?
✓✓ A single-variable, two-level
The simplest experimental design for determining whether a
curvilinear relationship exists between the independent and
dependent variables would be a
✓✓ Single-variable, three-level
The problem with conducting several single-variable
experiments rather than a factorial experiment is that
✓✓ Interactions between variables cannot be assessed
A two-level experiment is also known as a functional
experiment. T/F/.
✓✓ False
A factor is the same thing as an independent variable.
✓✓ True
The fact that no two participants are exactly alike can be a
serious problem in ____ experiments.
