Which one of the following statements is correct?

- The study consists of two quasi experiments
- The study consists of two laboratory experiments
- The study consists of one laboratory experiments
Which one of the following is an advantage of an independent measures design?

- There are no order effects
- Twice as much data are collected compared with a repeated measures design
- They are very in-depth
In the first experiment how many participants were used
- 40
- 45
- 100
- 150
In the first experiment what was the critical question?
- Did you see any broken glass?
- What time is it?
- About how fast were the cars going when they ***** each other?
- Where is Elizabeth Loftus?
- About how slow were the cars going when they ***** each other?
Why did the researchers carry out the second experiment?
- They had time on their hands
- Because they were also interested in broken glass
- So that they could use more participants
- They wanted to find out if the participants memories really had been distorted by the verbal label

What was the finding of the second experiment?
- Dogs can swim faster than horses
- Horses can swim faster than dogs
- Participants hearing the word smashed were slightly more likely to recall seeing broken glass.
