Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
A limitation of repeated measures design is
A
Decreases participant variables
B
Eliminates participant variables
C
Does not need to be repeated
D
Order effects may occur
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Repeated measures designs have some disadvantages compared to designs that have independent groups. The biggest drawbacks are known as order effects, and they are caused by exposing the subjects to multiple treatments. Order effects are related to the order that treatments are given but not due to the treatment itself.

Detailed explanation-2: -Repeated measures designs have some great benefits, but there are a few drawbacks that you should consider. The largest downside is the problem of order effects, which can happen when you expose subjects to multiple treatments. These effects are associated with the treatment order but are not caused by the treatment.

Detailed explanation-3: -Counterbalancing is a technique used to deal with order effects when using a repeated measures design. With counterbalancing, the participant sample is divided in half, with one half completing the two conditions in one order and the other half completing the conditions in the reverse order.

Detailed explanation-4: -Repeated measures design is a research design that involves multiple measures of the same variable taken on the same or matched subjects either under different conditions or over two or more time periods. For instance, repeated measurements are collected in a longitudinal study in which change over time is assessed.

Detailed explanation-5: -A repeated-measures research design tends to have which of the following drawbacks? The possibility for extraneous variables that occur over the passage of time to influence results.
