Assignment of participants to various conditions in an experiment: Can within subject confounds be reasonable well controlled: if yes, use repeated measures design. Variability is basically eliminated between subject variability because all participants are in each condition. One group pretest-posttest design (one-shot case study) Retrospective studies (experiments in reverse but not true experiments). Recall, a simple experiment has one dependent variable with only two levels of that independent variable. One independent variable two levels of the. Complex experiments: increasing the number of levels of an. Reveals the shape of the function relating to the iv and the dv. * if we have two levels of the iv, it is useful and it meets the requirement of an experiment.
