Intragroup incomplete counterbalancing involves creating multiple groups of participants and exposing each group to a different order of conditions. In this case, each group is exposed to all four conditions, but the order in which they are presented varies across groups. This helps to control for order effects and ensures that any differences between conditions are not due to the order in which they were presented.
