A) Random assignment
B) Design confounds
C) Increasing demand characteristics
D) Counterbalancing

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Counterbalancing is a technique used to control order effects by systematically varying the order of presentation of conditions across participants. By doing so, the effects of the order in which conditions are presented can be distributed evenly across participants, reducing their potential impact on the results. Random assignment is a technique used to control for individual differences between participants, but it does not directly control for order effects. Design confounds and increasing demand characteristics are not techniques used to control order effects.
