Describe the process of counterbalancing and explain how this process reduces the risk of problems from order effects
What will be an ideal response?
Counterbalancing involves having different groups of participants go through the series of treatments in different orders. If there are order effects, counterbalancing should spread them evenly across all the treatments. As a result, order effects will not cause any single treatment to be different from the others, and therefore is not a confounding variable.
