Designing an Experiment
Captions available
The idea
Designing an experiment means naming the hypothesis, operationalizing both variables, assigning randomly, specifying the control condition, and closing each confound in turn.
In practice
One question — does a ten-minute nap improve afternoon recall? — carried through every design decision aloud, including two confounds found and closed, and one that cannot be closed and is reported instead.
