Critical levels and magnitude of effects

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlepeer-review

Abstract

Researchers sometimes report an effect of an experimental manipulation on a dependent variable in terms of the difference between levels of a certain nuisance variable required in the different experimental conditions to reach a given criterion of behavior. This method, however, may yield illusory impressions about magnitude of effects.
