If you wanted to determine whether people are faster at responding to a high intensity light than to a low intensity light you might do an experiment in which participants push a button whenever either a high or low intensity light occurs. If you were concerned with order effects such as learning but also concerned that an equal number of low- and high-intensity trials be presented, you might use
 
  A) randomization within blocks.
  B) control variables.
  C) a confounding variable.
  D) reverse ordering.

Question 2
