Answer 1

WITHIN-SUBJECTS DESIGN

Question 2

an experiment’s ability to detect the independent variable’s effect on the dependent variable

Answer 2

STATISTICAL CONCEPT OF POWER

Question 3

desirable when it allows us to detect practically significant differences between the experimental conditions.

Answer 3

STATISTICAL POWER

Question 4

assigns subjects to all levels of two or more independent variables.

Answer 4

WITHIN-SUBJECTS FACTORIAL DESIGN

Question 5

are positive (practice) and negative (fatigue) performance changes due to a condition’s position in a series of treatments

Answer 5

ORDER EFFECTS

Question 6

encompasses both positive and negative order effects.

Answer 6

PROGRESSIVE ERROR

Question 7

a method of controlling order effects by distributing progressive error across different treatment conditions

Answer 7

COUNTERBALANCING

Question 8

a form of PROGRESSIVE ERROR where performance declines on the DV due to tiredness, boredom, or irritation.

Answer 8

FATIGUE EFFECT

Question 9

Subject performance on the dependent variable may improve across the conditions of a within-subjects experiment and these positive changes are called

may be due to relaxation, increased familiarity with the equipment or task, development of problem-solving strategies, or discovery of the purpose of the experiment.

Answer 9

PRACTICE EFFECTS.

Question 10

when the treatment conditions affect each other

Answer 10

CARRYOVER EFFECTS
