College sophomores were given a short course in speed reading. Three groups had courses lasting for 5, 15, or 25 sessions. At the conclusion of the course, participants were asked to read a paragraph, followed by a test of comprehension. Before taking the test, participants in each group were offered a monetary incentive-no money, $1, or $10 for a certain level of performance. The researcher collected the reading time and number of correct items on the comprehension test for each participant

Answer explained below

Explanation:

College sophomores were given a short course in speed reading. Three groups had courses lasting for 5, 15, or 25 sessions. At the conclusion of the course, participants were asked to read a paragraph, followed by a test of comprehension. Before taking the test, participants in each group were offered a monetary incentive - no money, $1, or $10 for a certain level of performance. 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).

Design = 3X3 factorial

2. Identify the total number of conditions.

3³ = 27 conditions

3. Identify the manipulated variable (s).

Sessions (5,15 and 25) and a monetary incentive (no money, $1, or $10)

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

Yes. Participant variable are reading time

5. Identify the dependent variable (s).

Two dependent variables: reading time and number of correct items
