Hey, we are studying the relationship between trait anxiety and spatial navigation. We have 20 participants and one navigation task with 12 trials. How to avoid for order effects among the trials? Help me, please. Thank you!
create 10 random orders, with the constraints that no item is in the same position more than once, and that no item is followed by the same item more than once. the other 10 orders will be the reverse of the 10 that you created randomly. good luck!
Could you get 4 more participants? If so, partial randomization using a Latin square would work (with two participants for each variation of order)
You need to create randomization for the trial sequence. Use a random number generator at random.org for this purpose. You can also do this manually if you have subsets or subcategories of trials that must be ordered in a fixed way and that only the others need to be randomized. You should also consider assessing spatial anxiety at the beginning and end of the task or after each trial.
