Document Summary

I recently helped put together a research proposal wherein i designed a series of experiments that could be used to evaluate the nouse . My partners and i wanted to evaluate whether people using the nouse could work at speeds comparable to non-nouse users. Our goal was to develop this product as an assistive device technology (adt) It was important that the participants who used the nouse actually be disabled: we really wanted to see whether the technology levelled the playing field. So we proposed a between subjects design: run a series of independent tests on each of the two groups of interest in the study, then compare the results. A research design that uses a separate group of participants for each treatment condition is called an independent-measures research design or a between-subjects design. We hypothesize that our treated group comes from a population with a mean of x.
