Different participants are used in each condition of the IV; This means that each condition of the experiment includes a different group of participants; Done by random allocation to ensure each participant has an equal chance of being assigned to one group or the other

Question 2

Repeated Measures: Within

Answer 2

Same participants take part in each condition of the IV

Question 3

Counterbalancing- Within Groups Design

Answer 3

Procedure to minimize threats from order effects and time-related factors by changing the order in which treatment conditions are administered from one participant to another so that treatment conditions are matched with respect to time; Goal is to use every possible order of treatments with an equal number of individuals participating in the sequence
