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.
