A) Using a within subjects design

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Increasing the number of experimental conditions may actually introduce more noise in the data, especially if the new conditions are not consistent with the previous ones or if they introduce new variables that were not controlled for. The other options (using a within subjects design, clearly operationalising independent and dependent variables, maintaining consistent procedures throughout all conditions of an experiment) are all ways to reduce noise in data.
