Answer to Question 1

This design is called a Solomon four-group design. It is a true experimental design that controls for all extraneous variables. Where TE is the treatment effects, EXT is the extraneous effects, and IT is the interactive testing effect,
O2  O1 = TE + EXT + IT
O4  O3 = EXT
O5  O1 = TE + EXT
O5  O3 = TE + EXT
O6  O1 = EXT
O6  O3 = EXT
This allows solving for treatment effects separately from extraneous effects and the interactive testing effect. Simply,
TE = O5  O6
IT = O2  O5
EXT = O6  O1 or O6  O3 or O4  O3
However, to maximize statistical power and minimize the potential for bias, the results of the four groups are generally used equally.
