Week 4: Pros and Cons. Vote here!

We’ve got two major decisions to make this time around…

First, we have to decide whether our study will be within-subjects or between-subjects.

Within-subjects experiments have one participant complete multiple conditions and then compares the participant’s performance in one condition against their performance in the other condition.

Between-subjects experiments have one participant complete only one condition and then compares the performance of the two groups.

 

Second, we have to decide whether we want to include a third condition in our experiment.

The third condition under consideration would be a “no speech” condition. Participants would not name the object internally or verbally, instead trying to memorize the objects themselves. After looking at the objects, the participant would list as many objects as possible.
