How does the double-pretest design address selection-maturation threats?

What will be an ideal response?


The double-pretest design includes two pretests prior to the program. Consequently, if the program and comparison group are maturing at different rates, you should detect this as a change from pretest 1 to pretest 2 . Therefore, this design explicitly controls for selection-maturation threats.
