Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Counterbalancing is designed to compensate for practice effects by randomly assigning participants to different orders of experimental conditions, which ensures that any practice effects are evenly distributed across all conditions. A control condition (B) would not necessarily compensate for practice effects, as it simply provides a comparison group, but does not address potential learning effects within the experimental conditions. Giving participants a break between tasks (A) may help reduce fatigue or boredom effects, but may not address practice effects directly. A repeated measured design (D) is likely to result in practice effects being confounded with the effects of the independent variable, as participants are measured multiple times under the same conditions.
