Define and give an example of what is meant by a 'Natural experiment'.

Define what is meant by a 'Non-directional hypothesis'.

11 of 14
Define what is meant by 'Repeated measures'.
When all particpants in the experiment take part in EVERY condition.
12 of 14
Define what is meant by 'Independent measures designs'.
When particpants of an experimented are allocated randomly different conditions.
13 of 14
Define what is meant by 'Matched pairs'.
