psychology - types of experimental design

?
describe independent measures
ppts randomly assigned to each experimental conditions, 2 or more groups doing different tasks
1 of 12
describe repeated measures
all ppts complete each of the conditions
2 of 12
describe matched pairs
ppts matched on variables first then allocated to different experimental conditions
3 of 12
adv and disadv of independent
adv=easy to split,reduced demand characteristics disadv=variation between ppts can affect DV
4 of 12
adv and disadv of repeated
adv=fewer need to be sampled,fair disadv=improvement due to practice, may be bored
5 of 12
adv and disadv of matched
adv=control differences affect results disadv=time consuming,less data
6 of 12
define counterbalancing
ppts divided in half. one half does two conditions in one order and other half completes conditions in another order, deals with order effects
7 of 12
define order effects
ppts behave different because of order of conditions, performance better because of practice, decrease due to boredom, reduced by counterbalancing
8 of 12
define randomisation
randomly allocate ppts into diff groups/conditions, randomly even out characteristics in groups
9 of 12
minimise problems of independent
random assignments to groups, use other designs
10 of 12
minimise problems of repeated
leave gaps between tasks, counterbalancing, use other designs
11 of 12
minimise problems of matched
use independent measures design
