2.2.4 Explanation Section
Explanation
In a within subject design, unlike a between subjects design, every single participant is subjected to every single treatment, including the control. This gives as many data sets as there are conditions for each participant; the fact that subjects act as their own control provides a way of reducing the amount of error arising from natural variance between individuals.
