research methods ; experimental design

?
experimental design refers to?
way in which pps used n experiments
1 of 38
INDEPENDENT GROUPS
DFD
2 of 38
what is this design?
when two separate grps pps exp two different conditions
3 of 38
what then would happen with performance of two groups?
compared
4 of 38
IG - EVAL
DGD
5 of 38
biggest issue is what about pps that occupy different groups?
not the same
6 of 38
if rsrcher finds mean difference in DV may be more to do with what than IV?
individual differences
7 of 38
to deal with this problem researchers use?
random allocation
8 of 38
why are independent groups less economical than repeated measures?
each pp only gives one result
9 of 38
so what does this mean to produce equivalent data to repeated measures?
twice as many pps
10 of 38
strength of IG is that what aren't a problem where they are for repeated measures?
order effects
11 of 38
and pps also less likely to do what?
guess the aim
12 of 38
REPEATED MEASURES
DFGD
13 of 38
what does this entail?
all pps exp both conditions
14 of 38
following what would happen to two sets data?
compared to see if difference
15 of 38
repeateed measures guarantees?
comparing like with like
16 of 38
whereas independent groups does what which may be a problem?
compares different groups pps
17 of 38
RM ; EVAL
DFGDG
18 of 38
each pp has to do two tasks and what may be sig?
order
19 of 38
to deal with this researchers often use?
counterbalancing
20 of 38
what does counterbalancing entail?
half pps doing A then B / half B then A
21 of 38
why might order effects also arise?
bc repeating tasks could create boredom / fatigue so deterioration perfomrance on second tak
22 of 38
alternatively performance may improve why?
practice
23 of 38
therefore order acts as what kind of variable?
confounding
24 of 38
also more likely pps will do what when exp all cond'?
work out aim
25 of 38
for this reason what tend to be more of a feature of this than IG?
demand characteristics
26 of 38
strengths of using repeated measures is that what is ctrlled?
pp variables
27 of 38
MATCHED PAIRS
DFGD
28 of 38
what happens here?
pps paired together on variable / variables relevant to experiment
29 of 38
and then what happens to pairs?
eahc allocated different condition
30 of 38
attempt ctrl which confounding variable?
pp variables
31 of 38
and often necessitates use of?
pre-test if matching effective
32 of 38
so like independent groups but?
pps matched
33 of 38
MP ; EVAL
DGDFF
34 of 38
only take pt in single condt so which 2 things less of a problem?
order effects / demand characteristics
35 of 38
what is the problem with reucing pp variables this way?
never matched exactly
36 of 38
why may ppl not match?
time consuming / expensive
37 of 38
which makes htis less what than other designs?
economical
