1the [blank_start]aim[blank_end] is a general expression o what the researcher intends to investigate
- Aaim
- Bhypotheis
- Cexperiemental method
2what are demand characteristics

3what is repeated measures
- Asame participants in all conditions
- Bone group do condition A the other do condition B
- Ctwo groups are used by are related
4what is independent groups
- Asame particpants do all conditions
- Btwo groups are used but are related to eachother
- Cone group do condition A and another do condtion B
5using exactly the same formalised proceudres for all participants is called [blank_start]standardisation[blank_end]
