I agree with the idea that intervening might result in more problems instead of actually improving Dr. P’s ability to perceive. It would be better for him to not receive treatment as long as he is […]

I liked that you pointed out that a within-subjects design is less time consuming. It was also important for you to consider that the error variance would be reduced using this design.

In other words, the performance of each participant is being tested over a series of sessions. For […]
