Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Carryover effects refer to the influence that the experience in one condition of an experiment can have on participants' behavior in another condition. Pitch of a tone (D) is least susceptible to carryover effects because it is a simple, discrete stimulus that can be easily reset or changed between experimental conditions without lingering effects, unlike brain damage, age, or amount of practice with a task, which have more enduring qualities or require time to change.
