A researcher wants to test the effect of alcohol on driving performance.Participants first drive through an obstacle course before drinking any alcohol.The participants then drink 8 ounces of alcohol and drive the course again.After each trial,the number of traffic cones hit is recorded.The researcher finds that the number of traffic cones hit is greater before rather than after the participants drank the alcohol.What may best account for the change in performance?

A) Maturation
B) History
C) Testing effect
D) Instrument decay

_____ designs address the need to study the effect of an independent variable in settings in which the control features of true experimental designs cannot be achieved.

In the context of one-group pretest-posttest design and the associated threats to internal validity,any changes that occur systematically over time are called _____ effects.

Professor Aaron finds that when he smiles and makes eye contact with Jeanne,she becomes more responsive to his questions.He tries the same behavior on David,Chris,and B.J.and finds that it also influences their responses to his questions.What type of single-case design did Professor Aaron employ?

A study conducted by Ryan and Hemmes (2005) investigated the impact of rewarding college students with points for submitting homework.Their results suggested that overall,course points served as an incentive for submitting homework.However,some individual participants submitted homework even when no points were assigned.Because the researchers used a _____ design,they were able to quickly identify individual differences.

In developmental research,a cohort is:

In a _____ design,a subject's behavior is measured over time during a baseline control period.

The use of existing natural groups of participants often results in:

A researcher records the number of motorcycle fatalities before and after the implementation of a mandatory helmet law.During the same period,she compares this number to the number of motorcycle fatalities of three states that do not have mandatory helmet laws.This research design would be an example of a(n) _____ design.

An advantage of the ABAB reversal design over the ABA design is that it:

What is the advantage of the pretest in the nonequivalent control group pretest-posttest design?

A researcher administers a reading test to a group of fourth graders at the beginning of the school year.During the year,the students receive an intensive program designed to improve reading skills.At the end of the year,the reading test is given again and a large improvement in test scores is discovered.Identify the type of study.
