Q

Experimental Design: INDEPENDENT GROUPS DESIGN (3)

A

Strengths: no order effects (demand characteristics) e.g. fatigue or practice effects
Weaknesses: individual differences, more people (cost, time)

Q

Experimental Design: MATCHED PAIRS DESIGN (3)

A

Pairs of pps matched on appropriate variables relevant to experiment
Strengths: minimise individual differences, no order effects
Weaknesses: time, cost, effort, still some individual differences
