The researcher collected the reading time and number of correct items on the comprehension test for each participant.

1. Identify the design (e.g., 2 X 2 factorial).

2. Identify the total number of conditions.

3. Identify the independent variable(s) and levels (this could include PVs).

4. Is this an IV X PV design? If so, identify the participant variable(s).

5. Is this a repeated measures (within subject) design? If so, identify the repeated variable(s). And/Or

6. Identify the dependent variable(s).
