A complete counterbalancing procedure would be more reasonable and preferred relative to incomplete counterbalancing methods for a within-subjects design composed of six treatments.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Complete counterbalancing becomes impractical with a large number of treatments due to the exponential increase in the number of sequences required. With six treatments, there would be 720 (6!) sequences, making incomplete counterbalancing methods more feasible and often preferred for managing order effects in a within-subjects design.
