Finally, after nearly 10 years, it's the changing criterion design's time to shine! While often seen as the little brother to our more robust experimental designs, this week we discuss when the changing criterion could be your design of choice in research and practice and look at some of the more convincing cases of how the little step-wise graph that nobody liked should really be a key player in your visual display toolbox.
This episode is available for 1.0 LEARNING CEU.
