[c] construct [a] No, although sensitization does harm construct validity, order effects harm internal validity. Sensitization harms construct validity by helping the participant play along with the hypothesis. Sensitization harms internal validity by making the participant behave differently on later trials than on earlier trials. This order effect harms internal validity because it could be mistaken for a treatment effect. [c]* [a] An order effect could be mistaken for a treatment effect--and if your study suggests that a treatment caused an effect when it didn't, your study lacks internal validity.

 [q]___________ designs balance out routine order effects. [textentry] [c]counterbalanced within-subjects; counterbalanced [a]Correct. [c]* [a]No, it is counterbalanced within-subjects designs that balance out routine order effects.

[q]Counterbalanced designs balance out routine ______ effects. [textentry] [c]order [a]True. [c]sequence [a]No, you may be confusing sequence with order. Counterbalanced designs give participants different sequences of treatments to balance out order effects. To illustrate, suppose that in a counterbalanced design, half the participants get the treatments in the sequence: A first and then B, and the other half get the treatments in the sequence: B first and then A. In this case, routine order effects should not mimic a treatment effect. For example, if participants tend to do better on the first trial, that should not make A scores higher than B scores because both A and B were first half of the time. [c]* [a]No, counterbalanced within-subjects designs balance out routine order effects.

[q]Counterbalanced designs balance out _____ order effects. [textentry] [c]routine; predictable; linear [a]That's right. [c]* [a]No, counterbalanced within-subjects designs balance out routine order effects.

[c]* [a]No, in counterbalanced designs, sequence is a between-subjects variable: Different participants are randomly assigned to different sequences.

[q]Counterbalanced designs have the variables of treatment and ______ as a within- subjects variable. [textentry] [c]order; trials [a]Correct. [c]* [a]No, in counterbalanced designs, order is a within-subjects variable.

 [q]Counterbalanced designs have the variable of order as a _____- subjects variable. [textentry] [c]within [a]Yes. [c]* [a]No, in counterbalanced designs, order is a within-subjects variable.

[q] In a counterbalanced design, the sequence X treatment interaction may reflect the _____ effect. [textentry] [c] order [a] Well done! [c]* [a] No, in counterbalanced designs, the sequence X treatment interaction may reflect the order effect.

[q]If participants getting good news and then bad news are in a worse mood than participants getting bad news and then good news, there is a(n) ______ effect.[textentry] [c] sequence [a] Good job [c]* [a]Sorry, If participants getting good news and then bad news are in a worse mood than participants getting bad news and then good news, there is a sequence effect.

[q]A ______ design has at least one within-subjects factor and one between-subjects factor. [textentry] [c]mixed [a]Correct [c]* [a]No, a mixed design has at least one within-subjects factor and one between-subjects factor.

[q]In a counterbalanced design, all participants get all the different levels of the treatment variable, but different groups get the treatments in different sequences. Therefore, the counterbalanced design is also a(n) _____ design.[textentry] [c]mixed [a]Right! [c]* [a]Sorry, the answer we were looking for was that the counterbalanced design is a mixed design.

[q]Because the counterbalanced design is a mixed design, it may require ____ participants than a pure within-subjects design--especially if the researcher is interested in sequence effects.[textentry] [c]more [a]Right!To have enough power to test the between-subjects factor of sequence, more participants may be needed. [c]* [a]Sorry, the answer we were looking for was that the counterbalanced design might require more participants than a pure within-subjects design.
