Single-Blind and Double-Blind Designs
This video presents the same text shown beside it, spoken and on screen. It adds nothing the text does not say.
State
In a single-blind design the participant does not know their condition; in a double-blind design neither participant nor experimenter knows.
Show
In a drug trial, the nurse handing out pills and the patient swallowing them are both working from coded bottles.
Watch for
Blinding the participant alone leaves the experimenter's expectations in the data.
